In March 1843, the bishop of Cincinnati entrusted to a group of German Catholics, the duty of providing a proper Catholic burial for Catholics in the German Catholic congregations of Cincinnati.

The Society began with 19.22 acres at West Eighth Street and Enright in Price Hill. From this small beginning over 166 years ago, the legacy of sacred trust continues today as the Cincinnati Catholic Cemetery Society (CCCS). Today, the Society's mission remains the same, to preserve, protect and to provide a means for proper Catholic burial and the maintenance of burial property for all Catholic congregations of the Cincinnati area.
