After a nationwide search Geoffrey Mearns, OLP Parishioner, has been chosen to head Northern Kentucky University near Cincinnati.

Geoffrey was chosen as Catholic Lawyer of the Year in the Diocese of Cleveland and was honored at last year’s annual Red Mass sponsored by the Catholic Lawyers Guild of Cleveland. Geoff also served as an original member of the Diocesan Review Board to investigate misconduct on the part of Diocesan Clergy.

Geoffrey’s wife Jennifer is a Eucharistic Minister at Our Lady of Peace and a member of the Shaker Heights Board of Education. They are the parents of five children. His Parents, Edward and Patricia, are parishioners as are a few of his sisters and their families.

While we are sad to say farewell to Geoff and his family we are bursting with pride that one of our own has been chosen for such a well deserved honor and position to influence the lives and development of thousands of young people.
