Each year, our February luncheon is dedicated to hearing the “State of the Diocese” from our Bishop. This event is planned for months in advance and usually has well over 500 attendees. Board members solicit sponsorships to help keep the individual prices at the same level as the other monthly luncheons and also to assist in the operations of the First Friday Club of Cleveland throughout the year.

The luncheon generally occurs on the Thursday before the First Friday of February.

This next Bishop’s Luncheon will be on Thursday, February 5, 2026, at Windows on the River. We look forward to hearing from The Most Reverend Edward C. Malesic. As part of this event, the Heart of a Servant Award will also be presented.

We are in the early planning stages for the 2026 Bishop’s Luncheon. Ticket sales are not open. If you have an interest in serving as a sponsor for this event, please contact us at firstfridaycleveland@gmail.com, or feel free to reach out directly to a member of our leadership team.
