For 33 years, Kim Tuchek has volunteered her time and energy to ensure that the children of St. Francis Xavier Parish were able to serve and love God while competing in a variety of sporting events.
Over the years, thousands of children in our day school and Parish School of Religion registered for and played on parishwide teams in a CYO league that pitted them against parishes throughout Cleveland and Akron.
This complex system was organized by Kim, who volunteered shortly after becoming Catholic and joining our parish. Although she never had children of her own nor was much of an athlete herself, Kim (who is married to Scott) agreed to apply her organizational skills to serve this important role in our parish.
In September, Kim’s hard work and dedication will be recognized with her induction into the CYO Hall of Fame.
Congratulations Kim, and thank you for your many years of selfless and tireless work on behalf of our children!
Celebrate our country's 250th birthday
Celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday on the campus of St. Francis Xavier Parish! From the field next to our gym, you can see most of the fireworks being shot off at Medina High School.
Plus, you’ll get easy access to clean restrooms, parking and a playground for the kids. The parish will gladly provide our guests with free hot dogs, frozen ice cream and Popsicle treats, chips, water, activities and more. Open to all!
In addition, since the fireworks concide with First Friday, we will offer visitors the opportunity to stop into the church for a moment of peaceful prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. Jesus will be exposed in the monstrance beginning at 7:30 p.m. and adoration will continue through the night until 7 a.m.
At 9 p.m., come to Mary’s Courtyard (between the church and school) and pray a rosary aloud in the darkness and dim light of the shrine. Bring your rosary, or some will be on hand for you. We’ll finish in plenty of time to enjoy the 10 p.m. fireworks!
