I am excited to announce the launch of the St. Dominic Savio Internship Program, a new initiative designed to provide university students with valuable hands-on ministry experience in local parishes. This program offers students a unique opportunity to receive mentorship from parish evangelists, experience the day-to-day realities of parish work, and discern their vocational call to ministry.
Named in honor of St. Dominic Savio, known for his diligent work as a student and deep devotion to Mary and Jesus in the Eucharist, this internship program will also serve parishes by providing necessary help, the opportunity for parish staff to grow in their own mentoring and coaching skills, and equip the next generation of evangelists in a substantial way.
We are currently accepting applications from university students, regardless of area of study, for the first year of the internship program. Students can apply here. Please share with any students you believe might be interested, are open to growth, and want to discern a vocational call to parish ministry.
Hispanic Night of Adoration and Social Gathering
March 21 |Mount St. Mary's Seminary | 7:00 - 10:00 PM
Our Hispanic Evangelization team is hosting a sacred time of prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. It’s an opportunity to gather with young Hispanics from the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, strengthen faith, celebrate the Eucharist, and share fellowship afterward.
We are in year two of implementation of the Assessment of Religious Knowledge (ARK), and it is already bearing fruit across the Archdiocese. As one parish evangelist recently said, "I like how [ARK] shows me how I need to better form my catechists."
The spring assessment window for ARK is quickly approaching, and we want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to take advantage of it. If you have not yet set up your parish(es) on ARK, please contact me to get started! A reminder - student participation is optional, but catechist and parish staff participation is required.
We look forward to the CNE taking ARK alongside you this spring and using the results to better form, equip, and coach parish evangelists!

We are launching a sacramental hub for young adults in the Cincinnati area. Join us for a bi-weekly night of Adoration, Confession, and Mass. The next meeting date is Tuesday, February 24th.
