Operation Good News

Operation Good News (OGN) is a lay-led Catholic renewal ministry, rooted in African-American Catholic Spirituality, that was formed in 1978 by the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland to encourage spiritual growth in the urban diocesan parishes in Cleveland OH.  OGN is open to any adult over the age of 18 and offers bi-annual retreats to encourage a renewed sense of God’s presence in your life. The mission of OGN is to share the Good News of Jesus Christ through witnessing the joy of His Love, increased knowledge of His Word, and recapturing the newness and hope that one feels with the first knowledge of God’s love.
