According to the History of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, 1894, it also appears that many Catholic institutions, including hospitals and convents would include a chapel and they were listed in that directory as "churches". In the Basin these includes the Chapel of the Sisters of Notre Dame, 6th Street, Downtown; the Chapel of the Sacred Heart at St. Mary’s Hospital, Betts and Linn Streets, West End; and the Chapel of the Convent of St. Clara, Third and Lytle, Downtown. However these Chapels do not show up as a parish in any records that I have seen to date.
This list also does not include St. Joseph of Nazareth, Over-The-Rhine, which was not founded until 1914 as St. Stephan. Nor does it included older parishes just beyond the Basin area that have since closed like St. George, Corryville; Holy Cross, Mt. Adams; Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Sedamsville; St. Bonaventure, South Fairmount; St. Patrick, Northside; and St. Pius, South Cumminsville.

Grateful for the Atonement info. Never knew where St Anthony of Padua started.
Didn't know if you knew anything of Mount Carmel Catholic Church on Burbank in Walnut Hills. As it was Little Italy, I believe the church was connected to Sacred Heart, but don't know what became of it; the building is no longer there.
That was a great survey. Maybe you could do a post on the Sister's of Mercy building in front of Union Terminal. That is another kinda forgotten Catholic Church/school.
I note that the steeple at the back of St. John the Baptist was preserved when the church was demolished and is still part of the community center buildings at Green and Republic.
I appreciate your blog. I am really interested in my family's early history in Cincinnati. It's really nice to be able to see pictures of the Churches where they were married 150 years ago. It gives context to my research.
