I receive many emails each month from curious seekers, wanting to know more about the Ecumenical Catholic faith and Holy Family Church. The number one question I receive, however, is not about theology, spirituality, or church history. The top question I receive is about geography; more specifically, is there an Ecumenical Catholic church closer to "where I live?"

The short answer to this question is, "no."  As of now, we are the only church of our kind in the tri-state area.

Perhaps it's the cost of gas, maybe it's the small circles we run in here in Cincinnati, or maybe we are simply creatures of habit.

Whatever the case may be, I want to offer my personal invitation to anyone in the tri-state area who is looking for a church home. For the record, some of our members travel 25-30 miles each week to celebrate Mass with us. So if you do live outside of the 2-75 loop, you will be in good company here!

For many of us, our weekly commute to celebrate Christ's power in the Mass has become a labor of love...an opportunity to worship in a setting where our hearts can be at peace.

I wish all of you a safe and blessed Advent.
