About Our Lady of Victory

By 1922, the Tri-Village area was well established and experiencing rapid growth. Recognizing the need for a parish, Bishop Hartley purchased a four-acre tract of land on Roxbury Road, which would become the site of Our Lady of Victory Parish.
A modest English Gothic-style church was constructed by skilled Italian masons, using stone quarried from the nearby Marble Cliff Quarry, located just across the Scioto River.
The church was officially dedicated in 1923. 

 In the early 1950s, the church was expanded to the west and south, and a bell tower was added to accommodate the growing parish community.
Following the Second Vatican Council, changes in liturgical practices were introduced in 1966, including the installation of a free-standing altar, which remained in use until 2010.

The most recent significant renovation, completed in 2010, included numerous enhancements to the church. A two-story addition was constructed to provide additional classrooms, the sacristy was relocated, and a quieting room along with a main-level restroom was added for greater accessibility and convenience.

A decade later, elegant decorative painting was applied to the arches flanking the altar, the ceiling of the sacristy, and throughout the body of the church—further elevating its beauty and bringing it to the distinguished appearance it enjoys today.
