Originally filmed in 2009, WGTE's documentary of the Toledo area's most beautiful churches is well worth watching. You can see it at the link below:

Elsewhere In Ohio
I found a postcard of the old Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Cleveland. The date is between 1915-1930.

Photo Album Churches
I was cleaning out my basement and found many photos of churches around the area. The dates are from around 1994 to 2009.
The first images are of St. Mary in Sault Ste. Marie in Michigan. They were taken in August 1998.The next images are of the Corpus Christi procession at the closed St. Anthony in Chatham, Ontario, Canada. I couldn't find the dates on these ones.
This image below is St. Anthony, but in 1997.
This image was taken at St. Charles Borromeo in Newport, Michigan. You can see the Knights of Columbus and the impressive altar. This was taken in June 2009.
St. Anthony's Future
St. Anthony in Toledo has been in the news lately. It seems to be the only closed church that has a chance. This time, Lucas County Landbank has continued a funding for the building to still be used.
Final funding for St. Anthony renovations

Sts. Cyril and Methodius, Rossford
Hidden away in the neighborhood of Rossford is the small closed church of Sts. Cyril and Methodius. The parish joined with St. Mary Madeline to form All Saints on Lime City Rd.
It's a small church, but somehow still has a bell.Simple entrance with 3 Christian symbols
The cornerstone gives a date, but a small portion is missing. I would say 1937.
Simple brick facing
The sun was shining on this window and I got a good shot of it.
Just next door is the old school.

St. Joseph Then vs. Now
In April of 2010, Jeffrey Smith took many photos of St. Joseph in Maumee. A lot has changed in 14 years, so I decided to recreate his photos. I don't feel like reposting his photos, so you can find all his photos here.
All of the stations were painted from that weird pink and white. This is the 8th station, Jesus Consoles the Women.
As for the rest of the images, you can find them by typing "Joseph Maumee" in the search bar.

Historic Hamilton Churches
Hamilton, Ohio has 4 catholic churches, but 2 stand out as historic. I was in town, so I took photos of those 2 historic churches.
The other historic church in Hamilton is St. Joseph.
Simple, but very elegant
Another simple but elegant school
