Former Bishop of Cleveland Anthony Pilla laid to rest at Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist

Clevelanders will have one last chance Tuesday to say goodbye to Bishop Anthony Pilla, one of the most prominent and beloved Roman Catholic figures in the area's history. Pilla's funeral Mass will take place Tuesday at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist downtown, with current Bishop Edward C. Malesic presiding. Pilla, who led the diocese for 25 years, died one week ago today at the age of 88. Pilla remained a presence in Greater Cleveland for the next 15 years, most recently making an appearance at the Feast of the Assumption in Little Italy. With his death, Nelson J. Perez (now Archbishop of Philadelphia) becomes the only surviving former Bishop of Cleveland. "Bishop Pilla warmly welcomed me to Cleveland in 2017 when Pope Francis appointed me to serve as the 11th bishop of that diocese," Perez wrote last Tuesday. "During my time in Ohio, he became a close friend, wise advisor, and constant model of what a bishop is called to be." READ MORE: https://www.wkyc.com/article/life/fai...
