Welcome to the Our Lady of Peace Members Area. Check here for fraternity announcements, meeting notes, and upcoming events.
Our next meeting is the second Monday of the month at 7:00 PM at St. Gertrude Catholic Church, Madeira, Ohio.
Volunteers Needed — August 8, 2026
The Cemetery of the Innocents is composed of thousands of white crosses serving as a physical representation of the thousands of babies who die each day from abortion in the United States. It is installed in front of parishes, schools, and other locations around Greater Cincinnati as an invaluable tool for education and awareness.
From time to time, volunteers are asked to inspect and repair the crosses before they are deployed to new locations. Saturday, August 8th, 8:30 – 11:30 AM, we will gather at:
Saint Columban Parish
894 Oakland Road • Loveland, Ohio 45140
(next to the school)
Please, if you can spare a few hours to help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Water and snacks provided — bring a lawn chair. Many hands make light work.
