Naturalization Ceremony
One World Day
Cleveland Cultural Gardens
August 24, 2025

The 79th annual One World Day began at 11 AM with a Naturalization Ceremony where new citizens (from about 20 countries) were sworn in. Honorable Judge J. Philip Calabrese, United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, did the honors. He gave remarks and administered the Oath of Citizenship.

It was an inspiring and emotional ceremony. New citizens were so proud and happy and shared their joy with family members.
