This building was completed in 1871 in a Renaissance style with the towers rising a full 200 feet.

I couldn't get over how beautiful this church is!!! High ceilings, stained glass, pretty tiles covering the walls. I was also happy to see how packed the mass was. This is obviously a thriving community. I really appreciated the children's area downstairs. There was plenty of space, toys and books to keep my 14 month old entertained. And don't worry, they have speakers down there so you can still hear!!

It's awkward to write a review for a church; let's start there. I'll stick to the concrete, and…read moreleave the rest up to you. Mass Times: Saturday 4:30; Sunday 8:15, 10:30, 5:30 Daily Mass: 8:00 in the chapel on the third floor of the Catholic Center (enter the ground floor double doors off Herman St.) This church has the feel and beauty of old Catholic churches-elaborate interior painting, stained glass, stone structure. Fun fact: It served as the Cathedral during the 40's and 50's. (It's very popular for weddings.) The congregation is led by a Franciscan priest, and is diverse in many realms. This is the Newman Center for UC, so there is a student population-most prominent at the 5:30 Sunday masses. Logistically, parking can be a bit tricky-especially for the 10:30 mass during the academic year. The entrance to the parking lot is off of the University Ct./Fairview side as the street curves. The entrance to the back parking lot is further up Herman St. There is additional parking on Sundays in the Deaconess lot, also off of Herman St. or University Ct. Meeting space is available in the Catholic Center. Entrances, again, can be a little tricky-there are three options. There are double doors on the ground floor off of Herman St., there are glass doors on the Herman Street side at the top of the stairs, and finally, there is an entrance to the hall from the parking lot on the side of the church rectory-it's down about 4 steps. I've found people friendly, they have parish-wide events frequently throughout the year-and these usually have great pot-lucks!

Welcome to my Church review. I was always reluctant to review a church...but as a true Yelper it's…read moreprobably time I did so. St. Gertrude's is a fully traditional independent Catholic church, unaffiliated with the local diocese. If you are a traditional Catholic seeking Mass or the Sacraments in this area, look no further. This is the place. If you are interested in learning more about the traditional Catholic faith, you are very welcome here. The clergy as well as the parishioners will welcome you gladly and answer any questions. There are four Masses on Sundays, plus daily Masses, ongoing special devotions, Sunday catechism classes for children and for adults, and many social activities. There is plenty of parking in a private lot, and the church complex with social hall, gift shop, restrooms, is all on one level so there is no difficulty for handicapped access. There is also a gift shop/bookstore open every Sunday (or on request at other times) with an amazing selection of all things Catholic. See you there!

St. Gertrude the Great is truly one of the most beautiful churches I've ever had the pleasure to…read moreattend was overjoyed to be able to attend while living in Ohio for a few months. It is through the clergy's hard and tireless work that the truth of the Catholic faith is maintained and spread throughout the world; it is a beacon of truth to a dark, dark world. All things here tend to the glory of Almighty God as they should in a church and uplift the soul to heavenly thoughts. The parish life here is absolutely amazing and fills one's life complete with the liturgical year of Holy Mother the Church. It is my joy to attend whenever I visit Ohio. If you want truth - the truth of the Catholic faith without error - there is only one place to turn in the Cincinnati area, and that is St. Gertrude the Great Church. May the Sacred Heart of Jesus bless and protect you and the Immaculate Heart of Mary keep you!

One of the reasons we stayed was that the people are friendly. Note: if you are in a wheelchair or have difficulty walking, park in the large back parking lot - there's a ramp up to the building's doors, and another inside to the actual church entrance at the "el"(on your right as you enter) side. Need help? Just ask - we (my late wheelchair- using husband and I) found folks helpful.

The same priest who was a St. Bartholomew gave the sermon here as they are sister churches. However, this is the priest who laughs at what he says a little too often and without warrant. We all loved the choir with accompanying musicians. Besides the pianist, there were people who played guitar, clarinet, tambourine and drums. Particularly there was one singer who really got into the music and that is a good thing. There was a little more spirit in their songs which we all appreciated, too. As we looked at the bulletin, we were surprised by just how much this church does! Very impressive. Would recommend.

However, my personal experience with the small group ministry was incredibly tough. I felt that the life groups lacked proper oversight, and the management of those groups felt spiritually unhealthy and exclusive. Unfortunately, navigating the cliquey environment and lack of leadership support left me feeling deeply disconnected and hurt. While the main service has great qualities, I personally struggled to find a safe, welcoming, or structurally sound community here. If you are looking for deep, structured small group accountability and supportive management, you may want to look at other local congregations.

Our family has been attending QCC for a month and has decided to dive into this life giving church…read more The story alone, from Pastor Brian, is enough to throw your hands in the air and say "YES!" The church itself is young, only 6 months old and certainly draws a "younger" generation (think gen z/millennial). However, my husband, not a millennial loves this church. It's a safe space for anyone and everyone along their journey of seeking Jesus. Bible based. This is a big deal for me. We've attended great churches before that are just sadly watered down. The team at QCC packs a huge punch of the Bible but still maintains a fun, witty, loving atmosphere. Enjoyably bible based! We've been accepted with open arms since day one. If you choose to check out a service and attend regularly, I very highly recommend doing the Growth Track where you learn about the church and specifically what gifts God has given to you. It's a very fun, short "workshop" that plugs you into everything QCC has to offer! Bonuses: free coffee and childcare UpdatIng: after spending some time here, we've chosen a different path. The younger generation just didn't relate well to us over time. If you're 18-24, this is the church for you!
