Reds Opening Day Parade 2015
Go Reds!

On April 6, friars participated in one of Cincinnati’s oldest traditions. The Cincinnati Red’s 96th Opening Day Parade kicked off the start of baseball season. When the first parade originated, Franciscans were already part of the diverse Cincinnati community and all these years later, our ministries continue to serve this neighborhood.
The friars sported their brown habits and Red’s baseball caps to support our team and proudly share in the rich heritage of this community to an estimated crowd of 250,000 fans.
Many thanks to our friends Roger Pierson and John Wintz for providing incredibly fun seating in their 1954 Packard for the friars that preferred to ride. We are not sure if the brown habits or the Packard’s got more attention, but it sure was a lot of fun!
