Stark Deanery (Canton, OH)

Mahdere Bekele • April 23, 2025

Stark Deanery Council of Catholic Women hosted our Inaugural Seminarians’ Mothers Tea on April 12, 2025, in the Gathering Room at Christ the Servant Parish, in Canton, Ohio.  We enjoyed beautiful weather as our four mothers and two grandmothers shared stories of faith, family, and love.  Father Tom Cebula, the Stark Deanery Spiritual Advisor, celebrated Mass, and wonderful music was provided by P.J. Chavez.

Along with other stories and antidotes on the day, one of the mothers who once had children in P.J.’s choir, reminded him that he influences people as he lives his life of faith. One of those students is now a Temporary Deacon, soon to profess vows.  Pictured here are Father Tom Cebula, Mother Seagraves, Mother Bodenschatz, Mother Huzyak, Mrs. Lorenz, Mrs. Malich, Ms. Bell.
