The Catholic Telegraph - new format




The Catholic Telegraph, the diocesan communication organ for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, has been publishing a newspaper since 1831.  As communications change in the digital age, they will be maintaining a website and also switching to a monthly print magazine.

They are a good source of information for what is happening in the diocese and the vision of Archbishop Schnurr.  Good to read and view in these challenging times for the Church and the nation.  They will continue to have any news about how the parishes will be adapting to health concerns during this pandemic as well as news of general interest to Catholics in our region.

On the St. Peter side, together with the NRAM, o n November 20th, 90 boxes of food for a Thanksgiving Dinner were assembled at St. Peter's and then passed out the next day to the needy ...

  UPDATED: May 21st With great joy, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati ordained seven men to the priesthood today  at the Cathedral Basilica downtown.  .   Their biographical sketches are available from the Catholic Telegraph .  If you are curious what an ordination ceremony looks like, you can view it here on YouTube.  Their first assignments are also posted. Last month we also ordained  seven seminarians to the diaconate , including the South Clermont region's own Deacon Patrick Blenman.  Every seminarian is ordained a deacon about a year before he is ordained to the priesthood and at that time promises to lay down his life in celibacy to love the Church in a completely dedicated and undivided way, as well as promising to pray the Church's breviary prayer cycle every day of his life on behalf of the Church and her needs.  At the same time, 14 men were ordained to the permanent diaconate as well, to serve as deacons in the parishes to assi...
