The Cincinnati Archdiocese has unveiled new priest assignments in the wake of its archdiocesan reorganization that will result in the possible closing of some churches, while others are pointed toward new uses.
A smaller number of Catholic priests has made the effort unavoidable, the archdiocese said last fall when the plan was first unveiled.
From 2010 to 2019, the practice of baptisms, first communions, confirmations and weddings in Cincinnati-area Catholic churches fell by 23%. The average Sunday service is only one-third full, the archdiocese says.

Bryan Watkins didn’t know he had kidney disease until he had a stroke in 2018.
Now, the 64-year-old from Hamilton has been waiting for a year for a new kidney, and he joins many others who have waited for years.
“It’s stressful,” said his wife, Ellie Watkins. Her husband is on the national transplant registry list, and is limited on what he can do. That doesn’t include each dialysis session being four hours and he does it three days a week.
