St. Joseph Catholic Church has stood as a Tower of Faith for the Catholic community of Cincinnati, Ohio’s West End since 1846. Throughout its history and amid many transformational changes within its boundaries, the parish has remained resilient, adaptive, and a guidepost for the community it serves.
St. Joseph Catholic Church’s mission centers on a simple yet profound verse from the New Testament: “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” (1 Peter 2:9)
St. Joseph remains the last standing Catholic Church in the West End from where its congregation, comprised of many Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky suburbs, worships in fellowship and offers spiritual and material outreach to those in need.

For a shared mission
We pray that the Church continue to sustain in all ways a Synodal lifestyle, as a sign of co-responsibility, promoting the participation, the communion and the mission shared among priests, religious and lay people.
St. Joseph Needs Your Help Today!!
We are in financial distress and we need your support to continue!!
St. Joseph started its walk in 1846. Along the way, we have welcomed members from seven mostly-Black Catholic Archdiocesan churches that have been closed. We helped birth the national Black Catholic liturgical movement. We led the Archdiocesan Catholic church and school integration. We are one of the last inner-city Cincinnati Catholic parishes that proudly identify as Black. We have leaned on the Spirit through it all and today celebrate that we still stand as a tower of faith in the West End.
Yet we are in financial distress and we need your help to continue!!
We are revitalizing, reorganizing and working hard to keep St. Joseph alive and to bring back a school presence. We are determined to continue being a strong force for good in the West End.
We ask for your help today to keep our doors open, to keep doing good. We need your financial support more than ever.
