 The Founding of the Church in Cincinnati
About the same time a third chapel was begun in the state at Cincinnati, Bishop Flaget having visited this city in the spring of 1818 and having during his presence there daily urged the erection of a chapel as the surest means of obtaining a priest.

Towards the end of this year Bishop Flaget of Bardstown, Kentucky, in whose diocese lay the entire state of Ohio, wrote to the Cardinal-Prefect of the Propaganda, giving a short account of the Catholic prospects in Ohio and advising the erection of a bishopric in the state.
