Welcome to Emmanuel Catholic Church
A Historic Parish, Faithful to Timeless Tradition
Founded in 1837, Emmanuel Catholic Church stands as the oldest Roman Catholic parish in Dayton, Ohio. We are a vibrant and devout community rooted in the teachings of the Church and the sacred beauty of her liturgy. At Emmanuel, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is celebrated with reverence and dignity, reflecting our deep love for Christ in the Eucharist. Whether you are a lifelong Catholic or newly exploring the faith, we invite you to encounter the richness of Catholic tradition in a parish where reverence, community, and prayer are at the heart of all we do. Come worship with us and be part of a living tradition that draws hearts closer to Christ.
Our Purpose
As a diverse, welcoming Catholic family rooted in the Precious Blood of Jesus, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we provide spiritual direction through God’s Word and His Sacraments to guide our community to live as disciples of Jesus, who share His love and Good News.
We will be a vibrant, worshipping, sacrificial Catholic family who loves God and sees dignity in all humanity. As we are fed by the Eucharist and strengthened by the Holy Spirit, we will grow in our relationship with Jesus and serve those in our community.
