Emmanuel Catholic Church (Dayton, Ohio)
Dayton, United States
Emmanuel Catholic Church, is a Roman Catholic church in Dayton, Ohio. It is historically significant as it is the oldest Catholic parish in Dayton and the "mother church" from which all Catholic churches in Dayton and Montgomery County, as well as those in Greene, Clark, Champaign, Madison, Logan, Hardin, and Marion Counties, trace their roots. Established in 1837, the parish and its initial church building were named after its founder, the Flemish missionary Father Emanuel Thienpont. The current church building, a German Gothic structure on Franklin Street, was completed in 1873 and is notably one of the largest church buildings in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
