St. Gertrude is a Roman Catholic Parish in the Dominican heritage of prayer, preaching and teaching. Under our Lady’s mantle, gathered as the Body of Christ, we celebrate Him in the Sacraments, Sacred Scripture and in Catholic education. Serving our brothers and sisters in the New Evangelization, we seek to grow in love as we journey with Jesus to God the Father.

Sin and Forgiveness

A Pharisee invited Jesus to dine with him,
and he entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at table.
Now there was a sinful woman in the city
who learned that he was at table in the house of the Pharisee.
Bringing an alabaster flask of ointment,
she stood behind him at his feet weeping
and began to bathe his feet with her tears.
Then she wiped them with her hair,
kissed them, and anointed them with the ointment.
When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this he said to himself,
“If this man were a prophet,
he would know who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him,
that she is a sinner.”
Jesus said to him in reply,
“Simon, I have something to say to you.”
“Tell me, teacher, ” he said.
“Two people were in debt to a certain creditor;
one owed five hundred day’s wages and the other owed fifty.
Since they were unable to repay the debt, he forgave it for both.
Which of them will love him more?”
Simon said in reply,
“The one, I suppose, whose larger debt was forgiven.”
He said to him, “You have judged rightly.”

Rosary vigil in front of Sharonville abortion center

04/13/2013 - 4:31pm — Event Editor


Please join Fr. Jerome, the Knights of Columbus Elder Council and your fellow St. Gertrude parishioners to pray the Rosary in front of the Sharonville abortion clinic. We have had a loyal and faithful Pro-Life group each 4th Saturday – but there is always room for more. Our Bishop has asked us to pray and sacrifice; this is a great way to do both for the important cause of protecting the unborn.

St. Gertrude Parish - 90th Anniversary Photo Directory: Our Stewardship Committee
has been preparing for our new picture directory for several months. Thus far, the appointment sign-ups are going well. Next week, we will welcome a team of professional Lifetouch photographers to our campus to begin six weeks of photography sessions. All photos will be taken in our gym throughout the summer starting June 25. Our new photo directory is an exciting and important gift to our parish. It is a treasured keepsake for our parishioners and it helps all in the parish, staff and Dominican community to better put names to faces of our fellow parishioners, and will be a key instrument for us in welcoming new parishioners to St. Gertrude. This is a very important endeavor and it needs
all our families to be included. Please be a part of this gift to our parish and sign up for your professional photo session online at www.stgertrude.org or contact the parish or stewardship offices.

Parish Pictorial Directory


Celebrate Your Families, Celebrate Your Parish!

That could easily be our parish’s theme for the launching of “St Gertrude’s 90th Anniversary Celebration” this Fall. To help commemorate the parish’s inception in 1933, we are creating a “Parish Pictorial Directory” - our first since 2007!
Your family’s participation is vital in order to capture the moment and mark your place in St Gertrude Parish history. Photo appointments can be made NOW on the online scheduler. If you are unable to utilize the online scheduling, call the parish office at 513-561-5954, ext 2101, and we can help you schedule your appointment.
