News & Information

For 49 years the Assumption Food Pantry has been a part of many lives: those who have received a helping hand when in need and those who have volunteered with love and dedication. It is with mixed feelings that we are no longer operating independently at the former Assumption Church site.

By God's glory our sorrows are always transformed to new life.  Tuesday, March 1, 2016, marked a new beginning as we partner with the Catholic Social Services of the Miami Valley (CSSMV) Food Pantry.  This partnership allows us to provide expanded services and resources to the Assumption Food Pantry clients. Cindy Rogerson will continue serving our brothers and sisters in need on-site at the CSSMV location, 922 West Riverview Avenue, and she will keep us up to date with news and information.

We would like to express our great appreciation to all who have volunteered their time and talent, and given monetary or food donations over the past 49 years.  Our Lady of Grace Parish is committed to the success of this new partnership and we pray that you will continue to help us support this vital community resource as you have in the past.  We will continue to provide food chests at each worship site for donations of staples and food pantry donation envelopes, and we encourage continued volunteerism at CSSMV.

Our Lady of Grace is possible because of those who give of their Time, Talent and Treasure.

• Wednesdays: 8:30 a.m. Mass at Our Lady of Mercy

The revised daily Mass scheduled became effective on Dec. 26 2014

Most Reverend Dennis M. Schnurr, Archbishop of Cincinnati, has officially decreed the formation of Our Lady of Grace Parish to be effective Monday, September 15, 2014. This decree officially merges Corpus Christi Parish and Our Lady of Mercy Parish into one Canonical Parish - Our Lady of Grace. It has also been decreed that both Corpus Christi and Our Lady of Mercy will serve as two coequal parochial churches, retaining their original names, as the Our Lady of Grace worships sites for the proper celebration of all Catholic liturgical rites and reservation of the Blessed Sacrament.

A transition team has been assembled by Parish Council to facilitate the merger. The Our Lady of Grace Transition Team has prepared and sent a letter via the US Postal Service along with a copy of Archbishop Schnurr's Decree to all current parishioners of Corpus Christi and Our Lady of Mercy. You may also view the letter and the Decree by clicking the link below. A full operational transition may take several months and the Transition Team is committed to keeping you informed via, at a minimum, the weekly bulletin, Sheep & Goats Gazette, Facebook, pulpit announcements and this website. Stay tuned as more details are worked out and become available.
