Welcome

St. Peter in Chains Cathedral is a historic downtown cathedral that is home to a diverse and thriving faith community. We hope that what you see here will lead you to visit the cathedral in person!

Over the years, the Cathedral has been the site of many significant celebrations in the life of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

The Cathedral continues to serve as the scene for a wide range of Archdiocesan celebrations and events, and groups holding conventions in Cincinnati often use the Cathedral for liturgies or concerts. 

In contrast to all the large-scale celebrations, the Cathedral parish quietly ministers to the poor of the area and to the constant stream of people who come to participate in the sacraments ... confirmations, baptisms, marriages and funerals - and, of course, the daily celebration of Mass and reconciliation - continue the living story of the Cathedral.

Prayer to Make a Spiritual Communion

Should you have difficulty with our Streaming…

We are very thankful that so many faithful Catholics have been viewing the liturgies streamed from the Cathedral during this time when we are not able to gather and commune with one another due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Should you experience difficulty or interruption to the streaming, please go to the Archdiocese of Cincinnati website www.catholiccincinnati.org and follow the links to the AOC Facebook page or YouTube channel for an alternate connection. 


You are in our continued prayers as we all move through this crisis.

Our Lady, Health of the Sick, pray for us.

Please continue to check our website for the most current updates.
