East Side Trail - East Route
The theme for the East Side Trails is the journey to Ordination. The East Side Trails are Pilgrimages toward the Archdiocese of Cincinnati’s Seminary, The Athenaeum Of Ohio. These Pilgrimages are a physical manifestation of the spiritual journey of the men whom God has called to the ordained priesthood. The East Route trail begins at St Bernadette and continues to St Thomas More, Immaculate Heart of Mary, Guardian Angels and finally at the Athenaeum.
(Please note that trail route is along Beechmont Ave / Ohio Pike / St. Rt. 125 with has fast traffic and few sidewalks.) |

From there the trail goes to Holy Trinity Church, the Church of the Nativity of our Lord, St Cecila, St Mary Church (Hyde Park), Christ the King parish then returns to the starting point. In the future, once a pedestrian bridge is completed over the Little Miami River, the trail will continue to the current Seminary, The Athenaeum Of Ohio.
