Rosary Novena for Peace in Ukraine

3/17/2022

 
On March 16, Pope Francis announced that he will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary next Friday, March 25, at 5 p.m. in Rome (12 p.m. here). 

Today, Archbishop Schnurr wrote a letter to the faithful, urging all Catholics in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati to pray a rosary novena for peace in Ukraine beginning today and culminating on March 25. The archbishop will conclude the novena with Mass at 11:30 a.m. at the Cathedral Basilica. All are invited to attend. 

Echoing yesterday's statement from the USCCB Administrative Committee, “prayer is never a feeble gesture of last resort! It is a weapon of hope.” Please join the archbishop, the faithful in the archdiocese, and people all over the world in fervently praying for an end to the war in Ukraine and for peace.

2022 Catholic Ministries Appeal

1/20/2022

 
Picture
It’s time to kick off the 2022 Catholic Ministries Appeal (CMA) throughout the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. The CMA is our opportunity each year to support the work of six vital ministries, all of which operate right here in our archdiocese. These ministries include:
  • St. Rita School for the Deaf
  • Retired archdiocesan priests
  • Campus, Hospital, and Prison Ministries
  • Seminary and vocations work at the Athenaeum of Ohio
  • Catholic Charities & Social Services
  • New evangelization programming

The week of January 23, 2022, families will be receiving a CMA mailing from Archbishop
Schnurr. In the meantime, please listen to the archbishop's CMA message, explaining how our support of the Catholic Ministries Appeal allows us to stand with the ministries that teach, feed, and heal throughout the archdiocese. 

DONATE NOW
Thanks to the generosity of 308 families here at St. Gertrude, we pledged $107,519.00 to the 2021 CMA. This year, our goal is $84,363—and if we exceed our goal, 50 percent of our over-goal amount comes back to St. Gertrude to be used here at the parish.

Please prayerfully consider how you will contribute to the 2022 CMA. You can complete your pledge card and return it in the envelope provided, or bring your completed pledge card and envelope to Mass. For more information or to donate online, please visit CatholicAOC.org/CMA. Thank you!
