The Disciple Maker Index Survey is Opens this Week! Please Read and Help!
It’s official! The Disciple Maker Index Survey opens this week and we need your help!
Please help us participate by completing a 10-15 minute survey as soon as possible.
- CLICK HERE FOR LINK TO THE SURVEY
- There are also opportunities to complete the survey after daily and Sunday Mass and you can obtain a paper copy in the Gathering Space or Parish Office or by contacting Karen Redmond at 513-539-8061.
The survey will only be available from January 21st- February 27th and will ask you to reflect on your own spiritual growth and enable you to provide feedback on our parish’s efforts to help you grow. All responses will be confidential and the parish will only receive information about the community as whole.
We are trying to get the highest response rate possible. This information will be invaluable to Father Paul and our various ministries as we plan for the future and strive to be the best disciples we can be. We will receive the results this spring/summer at which time we will share what we have learned with the entire parish.
Thank you for helping with this important project!
"'Late have I loved you, Lord' - St. Augustine famously writes in his Confessions. Augustine is one of the Church's greatest saints, but before his conversion he was a notorious sinner famous for praying "God grant me chastity, just not yet." How did this change come about? What does it mean to be in love?
Young adults are invited to join a five-week study examining Augustine's Confessions, diving deep into the topics of love, conversion, the challenges of today's world, and finding meaning in life! Scan the QR code for more information.

NEW Online Giving Option!
We are excited to announce a NEW option for online giving at Our Lady of Sorrows. Now you can access this online giving option securely from your phone, tablet, or computer. You can choose a one-time donation or recurring donations, using either a credit card or bank account. It’s quick, easy, and secure!
With this new option, there is no need to fill out a form or contact the office if you want to start an electronic contribution or change a current one. The QR code will take you directly to the donation page. You can also click on "DONATE" below.
If you are using our current system of electronic giving, this option will still be available! If you are happy with giving this way, there is no need to do anything. If you set up online giving with the NEW option and need to cancel your contributions with the old electronic giving, please call Bob in the office.
You can also mail in your contribution envelopes and other donations that you would normally be putting in the collection basket. Make all checks payable to Our Lady of Sorrows and mail to:
