Welcome
Thank you for visiting the Mother of Christ Catholic Church online. We are a member of the Beacons of Light, South 7 Family of Parishes. We celebrate our 77th year of ministry to the Winton Hills Community and we ask you to join us in a prayer of thanksgiving for what God has done over the years and for the lives he has touched through our parish.

Beacons of Light is a multi-year process of pastoral planning for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Rooted in prayer, groupings of parishes will come together as one faith community. These new “Families of Parishes” will be stronger together, focused more on a mission than on maintenance. In the Families of Parishes, we will grow closer to God, follow Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit, and radiate Christ in our lives.
fifth Sunday of Lent
At that time Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert
to be tempted by the devil.
He fasted for forty days and forty nights,
and afterwards he was hungry.
The tempter approached and said to him, "If you are the Son of God,
command that these stones become loaves of bread."
He said in reply, "It is written:
One does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes forth
from the mouth of God."
Gospel according to Matthew

Growing Spiritually during Lent
"Last year was the first year in my entire life that I took the time to understand that Lent is a time to change your life for God, not sacrifice things you like such as coffee or candy.
It’s that simple."

National Day of Prayer
Thursday, May 4, 2023
The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. Our Task Force is a privately funded organization whose purpose is to encourage participation on the National Day of Prayer. It exists to communicate with every individual the need for personal repentance and prayer, to create appropriate materials, and to mobilize the Christian community to intercede for America’s leaders and its families. The Task Force represents a Judeo-Christian expression of the national observance, based on our understanding that this country was birthed in prayer and in reverence for the God of the Bible.

"A Study of the Mass Word on Fire"
“The Mass is the source and summit of the whole Christian life. Accordingly, the Eucharist is the essential moment for building up and strengthening the parish community.”
— Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr
Archbishop Schnurr invites all the faithful to join him in a study of The Mass, produced by Word on Fire and led by Bishop Robert Barron.
For the six weeks between Christmas and Lent, Archbishop Schnurr will send out one short video each week to help us deepen our appreciation for and participation in the Mass. Just watch the video at your convenience during the week and see how the Holy Spirit moves in you to renew and strengthen your love through the Eucharist – especially during the Sunday Mass.
