Welcome to Nativity!
Nativity was founded in 1917 by a small group of Catholics serving the communities of Pleasant Ridge, Kennedy Heights, Amberley Village, Golf Manor and parts of Columbia Township/ Ridgewood. You will find Nativity to be a faith-filled, vibrant community; a people of varied background ethnicity and economic resource. Nativity is a great place to be, lighting the way to the future through faith, service and prayer. The heart of our community is the Eucharist. We welcome guests and visitors and all those looking for a faith community. All are welcome to join in the prayer and the many activities that take place in our parish.

Due to the renovation of the restrooms in church, we will not be reopening church until construction is complete. This is tentatively set for early June. This project has been delayed due to issues getting supplies as part of the COVID-19 pandemic. When finished both the men’s and women’s restrooms will have hot water and tile floors making it easier to clean and sanitize these restrooms. We will also have a universal ADA bathroom in church. If you have any questions please contact Rudy Gruenke, Director of Systems & Special Projects at (513) 531-3164 or rudy.gruenke@nativity-cincinnati.org
Is it possible to hold mass in the gym? Like we did when the church was getting new pews and a refinished floor?
It has been a very busy few weeks at Nativity for the Building Service Team. Here are some updates on the projects happening around the campus.
School Roof – The installation of the new roof on school is complete. Pictures will be coming next week once we can get up on the roof.
Cafeteria – Installation of the ceiling and lights is now complete. The poles in the cafeteria have been stripped of years of paint and a more durable paint will be used on them. Final finishes (paint, floors, baseboards) have been selected and work will start on those items next week. Part of what goes into the final selection of products is their durability. This week the maintenance staff tested a variety of products on a sample of the new floor to make sure it was easy to get off.
1st Floor Bathrooms – The bathrooms on the 1st floor adjacent to the cafeteria are also getting a facelift with new lights, ceiling, and paint.
Church Bathroom – Work is well underway in the Men’s bathroom and new ADA bathroom. Demolition is complete, framing is in, rough plumbing and electrical are complete.
Floor Stripping – We have gotten a jump on finishing our multiyear plan to strip all the floors in the school building and refinishing them. This week we finished stripping layers of wax off the back stairs and the Men’s Restroom on the 3rd floor. Next week we will move on to the 2nd floor Women’s Restroom.
Wow!!! Way to use this time productively!!! Can't wait to see it in person!!
If you drove by the campus today (March 26), you may have noticed cranes and a flurry of workers on the campus. With the campus closed, due to the need for social distance, the Building Services Department started work on a few summer projects early. By doing these projects now we can reduce the workload during the summer and allow these contractors to keep their workers employed during this difficult time. These projects were already in the pipeline for this summer and fully funded. The work being done is a new roof on the school building (26 years old), a new AC unit in the Cafeteria (22 years old), a new boiler in the school building (24 years old), and the new handicap accessible bathroom in church. It is important to not go through another winter with the roof in its current state, as well as replace the boiler which was cracked. The Building Services staff is also working on preparing the cafeteria for its remodeling. This week the wallpaper was removed, and the walls sanded which created a pretty dusty mess. Next week the team will prime the walls and get them ready for paint.
All contractors and the Building Services staff are following the Governors orders on social distancing and the requirements for essential businesses during the stay at home order. If you have any questions please contact Rudy Gruenke at 513-531-0209 or rudy.gruenke@nativity-cincinnati.org
That’s great!!
