About

ST. ROBERT BELLARMINE PARISH

 

We are a Catholic congregation of about 720 households from many neighborhoods in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area.  The presiders, as well as our pastor, are members of the Jesuit Community at Xavier University.  While we are a parish of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, the spirituality of St. Ignatius also has an effect on the preaching and mission here.

            *We try to support each other in our common discipleship, in the Spirit of the Risen Jesus, by strong worship, faith development for young people and for adults, collaborative lay ministry, small faith communities, and by Christian service in charity and for justice.

            *Currently we are trying to improve a spirit of inclusion and communication among us, a task that is everyone’s not just a program or committee work.  Part of this effort is our leaning toward inclusive language, as we can inspire this, in singing and worship.

            *We are especially proud of our connection to Christian  ministries in Salvador and Nicaragua, and our membership in the AMOS Project, an ecumenical organization of Cincinnati congregations to work for justice out of shared faith.  Each year we realize more and more our interdependence with the rest of the city and the world.

We hope these pages will help you make contact with people and initiatives that might enhance your presence and sense of belonging.
