Holy Name Cathedral

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Steubenville (Latin: Dioecesis Steubenvicensis) is a Roman Catholic diocese covering thirteen counties in southeastern Ohio. It is a suffragan see of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. The current bishop of the diocese is Bishop Jeffrey Monforton. The See city for the diocese is Steubenville. Holy Name Cathedral is the cathedral parish.

History

The diocese was erected by Pope Pius XII on October 21, 1944 out of territory from the Diocese of Columbus.[2][3] As of 2012 the Diocese was raising funds to build a new cathedral, Triumph of the Cross, in the West End of Steubenville, near Steubenville Catholic Central High School. The plans entail combining six parishes in the city of Steubenville (Holy Name Cathedral, Holy Rosary, St. Pius X, St. Anthony's, St. Stanislaus, and Servants of Christ the King) and building a centrally located Cathedral in order to better accommodate the decline in the area's population and in the number of ordained priests in the Diocese. The six individual parishes forming Triumph of the Cross parish were closed June 8, 2008. Triumph of the Cross parish meets in two locations as fund-raising continues for construction of the new cathedral.
