Priests & Administrators

“I am proud of the work TOB CLE does to share the Gospel and its fundamental truths of creation. The group’s efforts to teach the beauty and sanctity of the human person as God’s sacred handiwork, is a testament to the plan and purpose God has for each and every one of us. May we take to heart their message of living our lives according to the Lord’s design, and thereby draw closer to him.”

TOB CLE is a true blessing to Northeast Ohio. Jen Ricard and her talented team are on the front lines of evangelization and education, reminding people who and whose we are in this new apostolic age.

Attendees and Parents

“During our book study, I had the realization that everyone has a cross and God is not dishing out different burdens for the heck of it. God chose a unique cross as our counterparts to salvation. What has made my cross easy to carry has been learning Theology of the Body. I am so excited whenever people discover it because of how life changing it can be. I now experience my loneliness being resolved with reception of the Eucharist at Mass.”

My son recently participated in your class presentations for Theology of the Body. He highlighted how respectful and communicative you were with your time together. We also overheard conversations with a few friends about how awesome Ms. Ricard is! As a parent, I cannot express my gratitude when learning the context of these sensitive materials. Your positive attitude and dedication to making my son feel respected and safe, is very important to us. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to your field of work!!

I am grateful that TOB CLE tackled a difficult cultural topic and then proceeded to teach about it with tremendous respect and sensitivity. I learned a lot from the presentation and felt a warm sense of community by the end of our class. Your ministry has blessed me beyond measure. Thank you.
