Praying for Life and Peace

Lenten Prayer to abolish the Death Penalty


Tomorrow, Friday, March 25th at 12:00pm, our office is partnering with the Catholic Charities - Diocese of Cleveland, the Catholic Mobilizing Network, and the Catholic Conference of Ohio to offer a special Stations of the Cross focusing on the death penalty. We encourage all to join us to pray and learn, remembering the life and suffering of Jesus and connecting it to the lives of those who have been killed in state-sanctioned violence.


This will be a virtual prayer service, and you can find it here.



Solidarity with Ukraine

Interfaith Prayer Service


Amidst a time of unrest and upheaval in Eastern Europe, downtown Cincinnati’s Christ Church Cathedral will be hosting an interfaith prayer vigil for peace in Ukraine. Co-sponsored by EquaSion, this event will be held at Christ Church Cathedral, 318 East Fourth Street, on Sunday, March 27 at 7:00pm

This event allows peoples of all faiths to come together as a united interfaith community and demonstrate spiritual solidarity with not only the suffering citizens and refugees of Ukraine, but all those affected by this tragic and unprovoked war.

“An important aspect of this event is the humanitarian component,” says Dean Owen C. Thompson of Christ Church Cathedral. “We want to come together as a community to show our solidarity, call for peace and actively make a difference to the Ukrainian people with donations and prayer.” 

The vigil will also feature select representatives from the local interfaith community, among them attorney and former Ukrainian citizen Nazly Mamedova, Bishop Marvin F. Thomas Sr. of the CME Church, and Deacon John Gerke of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Mass and Rosary at the Cathedral Basilica


Tomorrow, Friday, March 25, on the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, Archbishop Schnurr will celebrate Mass at 11:30 at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Peter in Chains and lead the faithful in praying for a swift and peaceful resolution to the war in Ukraine. At the conclusion of the Mass, the Archbishop and faithful will unite in prayer with the Holy Father in the Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Mass will be followed by the recitation of the rosary. All are invited to attend.
