Historic Catholic Churches of Cincinnati

In honor of Catholic Schools Week, I thought I'd post some photos of random Catholic Churches in Cincinnati. As a product of the Catholic schools I value the education I received. But what I appreciate almost as much is the fantastic architecture of Cincinnati’s Catholic churches!
