About Us
St. Xavier Church is a Jesuit parish in the heart of downtown Cincinnati. We are a Catholic community called to proclaim and live the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our mission is to proclaim and live the gospel of Jesus Christ. We do this: by our celebration of scripture and sacraments, by fostering adult spiritual development, by service to the poor, and by promotion of justice.

Parking
Free parking in the north lot adjacent to the church (SW 7th and Sycamore) is available for Saturday 4 PM and Sunday Masses ONLY. Parking is NOT free in the lot on 8th and Sycamore or the parking spaces beyond the alley.
Because St. X does not own these lots, you will be ticketed if you are parked outside of the designated time. Free parking ends after the last Mass that day.
Accessibility
In our commitment to ensuring inclusivity and accessibility for all members of our congregation, handicap seating is available in the front of the side pews and in the back of the church.
Please ask an usher for additional assistance, as we strive to accommodate the needs of every individual with care and compassion.

Fire and Death at Baptism
Do you remember your Baptism? Probably not, since you were most likely an infant. I don’t remember mine since I was two months old, but when I baptize infants, children, and adults, I think about my own Baptism and where it has led me in life – notably to be
