The region's Catholics will soon have a new leader when Bishop-Designate, Nelson Perez is installed on September 5th.  He will be the 11th Bishop for the Diocese of Cleveland and the first Hispanic to take the helm.  We will sit down with Bishop Perez to find out about him and his hopes and plans for the region's nearly 700,000 Catholics.  Then, we'll discuss a mentoring program for Cleveland 8th graders that looks to help students discover their talents and passions to put them on a career ready path.  The program builds on a curriculum that includes lessons from well-known author and businessman, Stedman Graham.
