Whether you are looking for a beautiful church service to attend while visiting Cincinnati or a parish to call home, I cannot recommend St. Xavier enough.

Me and my two children first attended Elevate about 8 months ago. We had recently moved from Dayton…read moreand I was looking for a church with a great youth ministry! The minute we walked in we were greeted by Pastor Adam and he started telling us all about their youth ministry before I even shared anything with him. I immediately knew this was Devine intervention! Soon after this my kids attended a youth night service and LOVED IT. We all met at Taco Bell afterwards where I was introduced to Pastor Adayja. I won't go into too much detail, but yet again Devine intervention Over the summer the kids attended Wake Summer Camp. I also served as a leader. This camp was OUTSTANDING! The spirit of God was so noticeably present. I also came to get to know Pastors Jeff and Jess. They have such a heart for God. Being someone who comes from a rocky past and who spent the beginning of my relationship with God attending churches online, I was so fearful when looking for a church that I would have to hide my past and my struggles. Everyone here has allowed me and my kids to be our true authentic selves without fear of judgement. So many of the staff and people we have met here are such a huge part of our lives and support system. These people really show up for you in day to day life. Not just on Sundays. My relationship with God has grown so much here! Every service from the worship to the message is simply amazing. Pastor Jeff preaches wisely, in a fun way that gives life. He makes it so easy to relate the message to every day life. Forever grateful we found Elevate. We love our church!

Quite a few of my relatives attended St. Gabriel School in Glendale for elementary education and…read morestill attend the church, so I have visited this parish on a number of occasions for confirmations, graduations, and weddings. I enjoying attending mass at "St. Gabe's" because of the parish's traditional feel, (members still genuflect...at many of Cincinnati's larger churches this tradition has been lost) and beautiful stained glass and architecture. Were it not for the church's small size (right around 200 seating capacity), I would definitely peg St. Gabriel's as a possible choice for my future wedding's location. This is a family parish; most of the children that attend the church also attend the school it is affiliated with. You'll witness this connection when you see school kids passing out programs and taking their turns as alter servers. Weekend masses are 5:00 PM on Saturdays, 7:30 AM, 9:30 AM, and 11:30 AM on Sundays. There is also a 7:00 AM mass daily.

Visited St Gertrude's in Madeira today. It's a pretty church with stained glass windows and it has…read morea more modern feel to it. There was a policeman directing traffic before and after church. The entire church was filled for Sunday mass. In the beginning, we were disappointed because it was difficult to understand what was being said via the microphone & speaker system. At first I thought it was me, but all four of us thought the same thing. Apparently we aren't the only ones as there was an announcement today that there is to be a new sound system put in. Good move on their part as I really liked what I could hear well. Was really shocked to see that there were 10 altar servers! I've never seen more than 4. It was nice to see so many youths wanting to participate during mass. The priest tried to make the homily a little more relatable; while discussing "Judge not, lest ye be judged" he used the popular vernacular of "don't judge me, bro". There is a lot of activity going on at St Gertrudes. Next week-end is the Pancake Breakfast, Children's Choir, Adult's Choir, Bible Study, Ladies of Charity, Marriage Enrichment Seminar, Scouts, Prayer Group, etc. There is a residency for Dominican Friars there and that is a wonderful blessing for the church and parishioners. Also, St Gertrudes has Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration! No wonder people are willing to drive a distance to come here.

Best damn preaching in the city!…read more Dominicans are known for their preaching but with a half dozen or more priests always in residency because of the seminary here, you are bound to find several you love and all are at least very good from the pulpit. Also with that many priest, if you want to set an appointment, they will be very accommodating, how many parishes can offer this level of service anymore?! None. Worth the trip. Families travel as far as an hour to go to mass at St. Gertrude. Saturday offers two confession times and three priests are usually hearing confessions and still they are are busy. The Holy Spirit is moving here. The best part is perpetual adoration, you no longer have to go to the Holy Spirit Center or Immaculate Heart of Mary for that.
