Lighting the Path: Sunday October 4, 2026


Join Fr. Michael Graham, SJ and other members of the ISP Cincinnati team on Sunday, October 4 for a free event in collaboration with Saint Xavier Parish and Bellarmine Chapel. We will gather after the 10:30 AM Mass at Saint X for a free lunch and an introduction to ISP’s work and mission in Cincinnati. Through personal stories and interactive reflection, we will explore the transformative power of encountering God’s love, hope, and healing as we walk with others. Click here to RSVP.

About Us


ISP Cincinnati began in 2000 as the first city to join Chicago in what would become the ISP Network—a movement of hope spanning 22+ cities. ISP Cincinnati has a strong overnight retreat program with both the men’s and women’s team hosting six retreats per year. In addition, the women’s team hosts an evening of reflection six times per year for women from several partner agencies at the Sisters of Charity Motherhouse. Several team members have been recognized as ISP leaders on a national level.As one of over 20 cities within the ISP Network, ISP Boston has brought experiences of love, hope and healing to thousands of individuals in the Boston area.
