St. Paschal Baylon Parish (Highland Heights, Ohio)

St. Paschal Baylon Parish is a Roman Catholic community founded in the ideals of the Blessed Sacrament. In the early 1950s Father John O'Brien and Brother Edward Mullen established the parish in Highland Heights, Ohio. The parish quickly grew as it drew members from Highland Heights and the surrounding suburbs such as Euclid, South Euclid, Lyndhurst, Willoughby Hills, Mayfield Village, and Mayfield Heights. As was custom of the time, parishes could only be named after canonized saints. The founder of the Order of the Blessed Sacrament, Peter Julian Eymard, at the time had not yet been canonized a saint, a status he holds today. Consequently, a student studying for the priesthood at the time suggested the parish be named after a Franciscan brother, St Paschal Baylon. The name was approved and the student, Father Donald Jette, later became the parish's third pastor. Paschal Baylon was born on May 24, 1540, in modern-day Spain. Early in his life, Paschal would spend his days praying in the local Church. His parents were shepherds and needed his help in the fields, but were still supportive of Paschal's passion for the Blessed Sacrament. At the young age of 18, Paschal left home for Valencia, and became a Franciscan brother. Paschal Baylon was beatified by Pope Paul V and canonized a saint by Pope Alexander VIII, in 1690. He is the patron saint of chefs, cooks, and kitchens. St Paschal's Feast Day is on May 17, a weekend the parish hosts a Spring Fling Festival to honor him. In 1954, a church, school, and rectory was constructed on the 20-acre property the parish stands on today. The Congregation of Notre Dame Sisters (CND) were invited to help run the new school, which opened in 1955 with 321 students. The first principal at St. Paschal Baylon was Mother Saint Edward. In 1963, the SSS Seminary then moved from its original location on Euclid Avenue, to the property next to the rectory where it stands today. The Seminary existed in this building for five years, when due to surging numbers, the students and faculty of the SSS moved to John Carroll University. The empty rooms and extra space then became utilized for parish offices and other uses by parishioners. As the city transitioned from a rural community to a suburb, the population grew significantly. In order to accommodate the growing population and students in the school, the parish built a convent for the Sisters of Notre Dame (SND) that administered the school. The original church built on the property held a capacity of 600 occupants. To once again accommodate the growing population, Father O'Brien along with Architect Richard Fleischman a new church to be recognized as a lamp atop a hill in order to fulfill the scripture passage found in the Book of Matthew (5:14-15). The new church was complete on April 8, 1971. Parish life continued to grow, and the parish offices in the former SSS building could not accommodate the numbers. As a result, Father Mario Marzocchi, SSS, the sixth pastor of the parish, began a campaign to create a Parish Life Center. It was not until many years of fundraising that the seventh pastor, Father Michael Arkins, SSS, inaugurated the building drive. The Parish Life Center was completed in 2001. An additional gymnasium was also constructed at this time and was dedicated to Father Donald Jette, SSS, for his service to the parish. In 1999, Deacon Joe Bourgeious, SSS, developed what became the Helping Hands Ministry. The Helping Hands provides services to those needing food, clothing, care and other services. In 2009, St. Paschal Baylon School was awarded the "Blue Ribbon School of Excellence," by the United States Department of Education. The parish is currently presided over the direction of its eighth pastor and former student at St. Paschal Baylon School, Fr. John Thomas Lane, SSS.

W.A. Thorp House
W.A. Thorp House

The W.A. Thorp House was a historically significant farmhouse in the Cleveland-area city of Mayfield Heights. Built in the 1880s for one of the first men of the township, it was named a historic site in the 1970s, but it is no longer standing. A native of nearby Warrensville, W.A. Thorp moved to Mayfield Township at the age of thirty-one in 1863. Buying nearly 250 acres (100 ha) in the township, he made himself wealthy, and his fellowmen elected him a township trustee. Thorp arranged for the construction of a new house in 1886. This building combined elements of the Italianate and Stick styles then popular.Built in the shape of the letter "L", the two-story house featured a complex gabled roof, a two-story bay window on one of the narrower gables, and balustrades at both floor and ceiling level on porches on the rear and in the ell of the main part of the house. Unusually, the weatherboarded walls were covered with siding of different sorts, and the exterior was further distinguished by elaborate woodwork under the eaves at the tops of the gables, wall boards giving the appearance of masonry beltcourses. Italianate influence was largely the result of a collection of brackets forming the cornice.In late 1978, Thorp's house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its historically significant architecture. Almost identical to its appearance at construction nearly a century earlier, the house was deemed one of the most important houses in the former Mayfield Township, both because of its well-preserved architecture and its place as the home of a significant man in local history. Despite this distinction, the house is no longer standing, having been replaced by a U.S. Bank branch. It officially remains listed on the National Register.
