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.

Living into the Kingdom of God
The message of economic justice woven through today’s readings challenges me—and probably you as well—calling into question the role worldly wealth plays in our lives. Luke’s Gospel concludes with Jesus’ pronouncement: “No servant can serve two masters… You cannot serve both God and mammon (wealth).” Still today, Jesus is asking
Responding to Love with Love
Today’s Gospel, John 3:13-17, is not just a declaration of divine love—it is also a call to respond. That’s the heart of the message. God so loved the world that He gave. God gave His Son, His life, everything for us. And through that generous, sacrificial love, we have been
