Thank you to the brave men and women who served our country and gave their lives for our freedom! May eternal light shine upon them 🇺🇸

“For the last time this year we get to say Happy Easter! In our beautiful reading from the Acts of the Apostles, they heard in their own native language and had that Spirit fall upon them. The disciples received what they needed to, ‘Go, and make disciples of all nations.’ And so, this beautiful act of the Spirit opened them to preach and to speak so that all the world could hear the truth. It’s the gift that is also there for us. The role of the Spirit in our lives is to evangelize…”

Happy Birthday, Dcn. John!

05/16/2026

We continue to pray for our new vicar, Dcn. Jacob Schmiesing, our former seminarian assistant, Dcn. David Homoelle, and their classmates who will be ordained into the priesthood today! 🙌

Assignment effective July 1.

Join the Archdiocese of Cincinnati in a 9-day novena for the nine men who will be ordained to the priesthood on Saturday, May 16. Each day, we’ll pray through the intercession of St. John Vianney, patron saint of parish priests. 🙏 Today we are praying for Deacon Jacob Schmiesing! Deacon Jacob was born in Washington State and is the oldest of seven children. Moving to Ohio just before his seventh birthday, they eventually settled near Sidney, where his dad grew up. Deacon Jacob has three adopted brothers and three biological siblings. He loves sports, especially soccer, and his favorite saint is St. Christopher, patron saint of travelers, since his family regularly was moving or traveling!

God our Father, through the intercession of St. John Vianney, patron saint of parish priests, we ask for Your abundant graces poured upon Deacon Jacob Schmiesing whom you have called to the service of the people of God and chosen for the priesthood of Jesus Christ. May he faithfully exercise the sacred duty of teaching in the name of Christ the Teacher. Amen.
