Programs & Tours
We are excited to guide you through some of Cincinnati's historic and beautiful churches on one of our public tours, a private/group tour, or a live presentation that brings these stories to you.
Click ‘Book a Tour’ to view upcoming public tours, or contact us to book a private tour or presentation for your group.
Our public tours offer an in-depth exploration of a single historic church or sacred space over the course of two hours. Rather than a quick overview, each tour is a deep dive into Cincinnati’s Catholic history, the story of the parish, and the people who built and sustained it.
You’ll discover the meaning behind the art and architecture, from stained glass and sculpture to symbolic design elements woven throughout the space. Along the way, we share the stories of the artists, donors, and communities who shaped these churches, while also explaining relevant Catholic symbolism and traditions to bring each detail into context.
Tours are intentionally kept small to create an engaging, conversational experience where questions are encouraged throughout. While the content is rich and in-depth, it is presented in a way that is accessible and welcoming to all—no prior knowledge of Catholicism is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to look closely.
Private tours offer a more personalized and flexible way to experience Cincinnati’s historic churches. Designed for small groups, families, organizations, and special occasions—including book clubs, alumni groups, parish groups, and out-of-town guests—these tours can be tailored to your interests, schedule, and preferred locations, whether focusing on a single site or exploring multiple churches and neighborhoods.
Like our public tours, private tours provide a rich, in-depth look at Cincinnati’s Catholic history, along with the art, architecture, and the stories of the people who shaped these spaces. With a private group, there is more room for conversation, questions, and deeper discussion throughout the experience.
Whether you’re planning a group outing or hosting visitors, private tours offer a thoughtful and engaging way to explore Cincinnati’s sacred heritage together. Weekday and custom scheduling options are available.
Pricing is customized based on your group size, location, and tour format—reach out for details.

Bring the stories of Cincinnati’s historic churches to your group—no travel required. These engaging presentations are designed for libraries, schools, community organizations, and parish groups, and offer a rich, visually guided introduction to the history, art, and architecture of the city’s sacred spaces.
Each presentation weaves together the history of Cincinnati Catholics, the development of individual parishes, and the meaning behind the art, symbolism, and design found within these churches. Through images and storytelling, you’ll encounter the people, communities, and traditions that shaped these spaces and continue to give them meaning today.
Presentations are content-rich yet accessible, designed to engage a wide audience regardless of background or familiarity with Catholicism. Time is built in for questions and discussion, creating an interactive and welcoming experience for all.
Programs can be tailored to your group’s interests, timeframe, and setting, with options for in-person or virtual presentations.
