Father Timothy Kalista was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Cleveland on May 17, 2003. From his first assignment at St. Charles Borromeo in Parma, he has continually exhibited an enthusiasm and energy about sharing the Good News, and he encourages others to join him in the pursuit of holiness. Father’s current assignment is as the Parochial Vicar at St. Mary in Chardon, Ohio. While Chardon has the dubious distinction of being the “Snow Capital of Ohio”, it is really a little slice of Heaven! Father seeks Heaven no matter where he is or where he visits and his challenge to us is to not only seek Heaven for ourselves, but to help lead others there also!

Father shepherds the Life Teen program at St. Mary and actively pursues the spiritual development of others through a variety of activities including: a monthly men’s prayer and discussion group, the TMC (Ten Minute Catechism) offered one weekend each month after the Masses, and spiritual retreats, to name a few. Father’s devotion to our Blessed Mother is second only to his love of and devotion to our merciful and ever-loving God!
