St. Joseph Church

Crescent Springs, Kentucky

 

St. Joseph Church in Crescent Springs is just across the river from Cincinnati, Ohio. I was able to visit my friend in Beaver, Ohio, and then stay overnight with my sister and her family, and then go to St. Joseph to speak at all the masses on Saturday and Sunday.

Sunday after mass Charlie was invited to a breakfast with family friends and then in the evening to supper and a gathering at a cousin's house.

St. Joseph Church is an old parish where Fr. Ed Brodnick is pastor with Fr. Ron Ketteler in residence. They provide four masses each weekend for a lively parish community.
