Emmanuel Catholic Church

Rini Sharon Rathnaraj

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.
