Hope, Heroes, and Heritage: Emmanuel Through the Years
Sunday, November 9, at 6:30 pm.
Emmanuel Catholic Church
Come join us on Sunday, November 9, as we celebrate two special events: the Jubilee Year of Hope, with our designation as a pilgrimage site; and Emmanuel’s 188th anniversary, which coincides with St. Martin’s Day and Veterans’ Day.
The program starts at 6:30 with an interactive musical journey through the history of the Mother Church of Dayton. Next, we will join in a lanternlight procession led by the children to a live reenactment of the St. Martin story—and some very special surprise guests! The evening will end with refreshments and social time.
The story of Emmanuel is a story rooted in an unshakeable hope in God; it is a story filled with “ordinary heroes” who worked and sacrificed that Emmanuel might become a reality; it is a story of the heritage of the deep Catholic faith German and Irish immigrants brought with them to America as they sought to escape religious, political, and economic hardships in Europe. Maria Fay, a principal contributor to the book commemorating the 150th anniversary of Emmanuel, perhaps said it best when she wrote:
“In many ways, the history of Emmanuel Church resembles the history of a family… Like the best of families, Emmanuel has seen good times and bad. Like the strongest of families, Emmanuel has survived both. … Emmanuel is from the Hebrew word for ‘God is with us.’ May this continue to be our prayer.”

2025-11-12 11:30 - 12:30, 2025-11-19 11:30 - 12:30 (America/New_York) | OH
OCIA stands for Order of Christian Initiation of Adults. It is the process by which baptized Christians and unbaptized persons can learn more and join the Catholic Church. Three opportunities for OCIA will be available this year in the St. Gaspar family of parishes starting in September:

Holy Trinity: Wednesdays at 11:45 am, starting September 3
St. Paul: Wednesday evenings at 7:00pm, starting September 3
Holy Trinity: Sundays at 12:00 noon, starting September 7

Each group will be using the “Foundations of Faith: A Journey through the Catechism of the Catholic Church” series from Ascension. Cost for the workbook and internet access to the videos is $40. Scholarships will be offered on an as-needed basis.
Join the Journey, Become a Sponsor
Persons from the parish are encouraged to become part of the lives of our initiates by becoming involved in OCIA. Why be a sponsor? Christ calls us to “go and make disciples of all nation.” Being an OCIA sponsor for someone on their journey to be fully initiated into the Church is a wonderful opportunity to answer Christ’s call. Additionally, walking with someone learning about the Catholic faith is a great way to grow in your own faith. Expectations of a Sponsor
