Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist

This church is fake they r passive aggressive with their guess ungrateful for your money and time because they r jealous of your values and goals because their existence depends on your values of them. fake people! by the way God is not a spirit u should be afraid of cause your lost and scared and feeling guilty all the time. God is perfect! FYI no person whom is normal beliefs can really connect and sympathize with their dogma of the Bible very little truth is in that Bible. maybe the church would examine their own flosses with there own emotions instead of surgar coating them with the bible moreless when their not hyprocritical other people cry for help their mocking gods work! Fakes! I am very passionate about this

Great and wonderful experience.

The man and I decided to attend St. John’s on Sunday the day after the holiday. We arrived early due to a mis-​read on the website about mass times. Mass was at 10:30 am and we were there a few minutes before 10. If you arrive early, take some time to wander through the sanctuary.
Beware, if you do arrive early, the church will be open, but not the restrooms. The restrooms are locked unless a security guard is present for safety reasons.
The church is a masterpiece and a built in the long-​tradition of Catholic cathedrals and in the shape of the cross. The opulence here is something not traditionally seen in many churches. The stain glass is beautiful as well as the statues and beautiful mosaics. Red little candles are all around with a suggested dollar donation. If you don’t have the dollar, you can still light one.
Mass was traditional with beautiful organ accompaniment. The cantor did a lovely job, and per my beau, she’s been doing that gig for 20 years or more.
The Bishop had a strong Boston accent which I found fun to listen to. His oration was slow (I think in order to curb the accent) which may have been in order to ensure his words were heard over the echo.
If you haven’t been, please go and see and experience this beautiful cathedral. During the regular church season (not summer), they have a marvelous choir to listen to as well.

I WITNESSED THIS IT IS 100% TRUE & THE SECURITY GARD TOLD THIS LADY AND I QUOTE: ITS MY JOB TO DECIDE WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO GO TO CHURCH HERE! GO TO ST. MALACHITE WITH THOSE HOME LESS AND POOR YOU LOVE TO HELP OUT SO MUCH! And she had some kind of service animal for seizures I think! I’d seen her quietly go there with no issues for years. She even spent an hour every Sunday replacing all the burnt out candles in the church at 5+ shrines and altars and he would refuse to get her more candles when she’d run out, and eat his lunch in her face to show he didn’t care to help her (she could barely walk) but to try to upset and frustrate her! How strange that the following review was up for months and suddenly it’s hidden. How odd that a main stream church can pull strings to hide a negative reveiw! Please read it’s long but true– To Sin by silence, when We should Protest, makes Cowards of All Men…
I was assaulted by an off duty officer of Cleveland police at St johns cathedral for
asking why he was prejudiced against homeless quietly attending church. He threatened them and me. When I tried to speak with a priest he assaulted me throwing me to the ground. I am disabled and was paralyzed previous to that for a year and a half. I can already barely walk previous to this and I have a seizure alert dog. I had three seizures and was transported to the ER. He threatened to have my dog put to sleep. And taken to the pound though I had a friend present who could have taken him. This all stemmed from a personal problem that man has had for months with me that he has said is due to me not being good enough for his church not Gods but his. And that I minister to the poor and ask him too many questions. He has been this way because he does not like me. He used excessive force and tackled me, throwing me to the ground and upon my service dog nearly crushing him. It caused a seizure in which I was picked up by him and a bystander an off duty Pittsburgh cop and I was smashed against walls purposely and thrown against door jambs. Because my body was locked up after the seizure. And that’s only a fraction of what happened. On 8÷5÷13 at 1:15 or so in the afternoon. At St. Johns Cathedral of the rich and affluent. If your out of work, homeless, or what Tom Security thinks isn’t good enough= you’ll be treated with disrespect, tackled, arrested, threatened and told your not good enough to attend. And when you go to the priest Father Marszal and tell him this, he will bow his head get quiet and do nothing. Do not attend this church, put no money in their baskets. They are using you and your money for the wrong things as they do not follow the laws of God or Man (non). Officer Tom Whoknowswho is evil incarnate and soulless. If you aren’t rich and perfect your let inside but never welcomed with open arms. And we have all been poor, homeless, drug addicts, prostitutes, thieves, liars or less than in some way in our lives, so by his standards none of use are good enough to attend ‘His’ church. Even Jesus was poor and essentially a homeless man everywhere but in his Fathers house. We should help those like this to find God as we have all been like them in some way. And he has literally said it’s his job to decide who’s good enough to enter those hallowed doors of God’s not his doors but God’s. This amoral godless man is the one claiming he’ll protect you in God’s house. Protest this Church, this treatment, this judging of your worth by a Man instead of God. Do not attend St. Johns Cathedral, give them none of your hard won and earned money send it to Rome instead. Boycott this treatment. Boycott this Church. Boycott by withholding your attendance and your money. Give your attendance and your money to any other church in Cleveland but this one. The homeless, the jobless, the poor, the disabled and the less fortunate are not welcomed here by the priests or the security. Those who Christ ministered to in the Bible are no longer deemed ‘good enough’ to attend church here. Those whose lives are like the one Christ lived in the Bible are undesirables to this church. And avoid Mr. Tom Security at all costs if you value your freedom your spirituality and your self respect. And this man on a side note plays games on his phone all through every mass I have attended each and every Sunday over these past few years.
Pre ious to this I had happily attended this church for years. The place is breath takingly beautiful in it’s architecture. I loved this church mass is beautiful… But underneath that it is wretched. It is dying inside and it is a sad thing to know, to experience, to witness. God must be leaving or has left these people. and this place. There is no other explanation. Except for Satan busily at work in this church.

Rev John Sephrry is the most amazing man I’ve ever met in my life… aside from my own father of course!!! I got married on 11−11−11… I went through terribly brutal divorce in this man is still there to console me even though my marriage has failed it ended this church is so amazing the minute you walk in your eyes just dance all over the place it’s unbelievable!

I enjoy attending the late Sunday afternoon masses here. As most cathedrals in large American cities go, I would say this is one of the more humble ones in terms of architecture. Have been here for multiple graduations and services as well. The parking lot is a bit of a secret, but nice and protected.

The word Evangelist scares me but it is a Catholic church. The best thing is it was across the street from our hotel so I walked over there Sunday morning for mass. The church is gorgeous and I need to send in a check cause I didn’t have change to give to the collection, which is besides the point. It is a very traditional Catholic church with a full choir, which made it even lovelier on that gloomy Sunday morning.

I have been visiting this church since I was born. It is SO beautiful! After mass I always visit the Pietà sculpture on the right side of the church, light a candle, and say a prayer. :)

This is a beautiful church with splendid architecture and artwork. I don’t know what the wall behind the altar is called but it looks like it’s carved out of wood and it is a stunningly beautiful piece. The whole interior of the church is an excellent example of what you’d expect to see from an 19^th century Catholic gothic style church.
Went to the Saturday vigil mass at 4:30 pm. I parked in the lot behind the actual church. If you are on Superior driving towards the church you make a left into a driveway and pass a little arch way reach the parking lot. I initially passed the driveway then made a U turn at the next signal light. The cantor and organist completely enhanced my spiritual experience at mass as did the beauty surrounding me.
FYI I’m a visitor to the area and this was the 2^nd church I have visited.

We went there for Christmas mass and it was a moving experience. The choir and instrument section is located in the loft of the rear of the church the sound and quality was exceptional. Th church is filled with statue and murals. The Alter was spacious and decorated to the smallest detail. The parking was also easy to access.

Oh I just loved this Church! I went for the first time last week and Wow. it’s really beautiful! What I really love is the city feel… people of all ethnic groups and walks of life. wealthy, poor, in between, handicapped and on and on. it feels like what a Mother Church should be. it moved me and I believe I am going to become a member as I’d enjoy going there more than the stuffier atmosphere of some of the suburban Churches.
