Ss Cosmas and Damian

What Ss Cosmas and Damian does

Saints Cosmas and Damian Catholic Church (also referenced as Ss. Cosmas and Damian, Ss. Cosmas & Damian, or SSCD) is a parish of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cleveland, located at 10419 Ravenna Road in Twinsburg, Ohio. The parish serves local Catholic families and individuals in Twinsburg and the surrounding Northeast Ohio communities through the full sacramental life of the Catholic Church — daily and weekend Mass (Saturday Vigil 4:00 PM, Sunday 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM, weekdays 8:30 AM), Reconciliation (Wednesday and Saturday plus by appointment), Anointing of the Sick, Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation, Matrimony, and a perpetual adoration chapel open 365 days per year. Faith formation is delivered across the life span: PreK through 6th-grade catechesis, a teen Anchor Youth Group (grades 7–12), Vacation Bible School, and Journey of Faith (OCIA) for adult inquirers.

The parish is led by Pastor Father Matt Cortnik and a permanent deacon, supported by a team of approximately 11 staff (including Youth Minister, Coordinator of Children's Faith Formation, Music Director, Business Manager, Communications Coordinator, and administrative/operations roles) plus three advisory councils (Parish Council, Finance Council, Stewardship Council). Underlying technology consists of commodity parish SaaS: the eCatholic website and content management platform, Flocknote for email and newsletter communications, GoToMeeting for remote faith formation classes, and online registration and payment infrastructure for Mass intentions, faith formation tuition, weddings, and VBS.

The business model is non-commercial and operates as a private nonprofit religious organization. Revenue is generated through (1) recurring weekly tithes and offerings from parishioners, (2) customary fees for weddings (recommended $950, waivable), Mass intentions ($10 suggested donation), and faith formation tuition ($82.50–$200.85 annually by family size, plus sacramental prep fees), and (3) one-time VBS registration fees ($40–$100). Most sacramental services — Baptism, OCIA, Reconciliation, adult Confirmation — are offered free of charge with fee waivers available. No revenue, budget, or membership figures are publicly disclosed; the parish operates under canonical authority of the Diocese of Cleveland.
