  • Saint Francis De Sales Catholic Church is located at 2900 Woodburn Avenue in the East Walnut Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. The congregation was organized in 1849, and its first building was dedicated on November 3, 1850. The parish patron is Saint Francis de Sales. The cornerstone was laid June 30, 1878, by Archbishop John Baptist Purcell, in the presence of nearly 10,000 persons. The edifice was dedicated December 20, 1879. The interior contains one of the finest altars in the United States, costing $20,000. The parent parishes were St. Mary's Church in Over-the-Rhine and St. Paul Church in Pendleton. The original congregation was mostly German. The main altar at St. Francis de Sales was consecrated by Archbishop W.H. Elder on April 27, 1887. It was a gift of Joseph Kleine and his wife Agnes Kleine, and was sculpted by Fred and Henry Schroeder of Cincinnati from designs by A. Kloster of New York. The altar of pure white Rutland marble and the white marble floor cost $20,000. The altar's onyx pillars and delicate Gothic spires are flanked by statues of SS. Joseph and Agnes in honor of the donors' patron saints. The church is home to Joseph, aka "Big Joe", which is the largest swinging bell ever cast in the United States. VanDuzen Company (formerly Buckeye Bell Foundry) at Second and Broadway downtown. The bell measures 9 by 7 feet (2.7 m × 2.1 m) in diameter and height respectively; it weighs 35,000 pounds (16,000 kg), including a 640 pounds (290 kg) clapper. Named for the parishioner whose donation to the bell fund was the largest, the bell reputedly could be heard 15 miles (24 km) away when first rung, rattling nearby buildings and loosening stone & mortar. It was soon decided to immobilize the bell, and for more than a century "Big Joe" has relied on a foot hammer striking its rim. In early 1974, the church, its parish school, and its rectory were declared a historic district, the "St. Francis De Sales Church Historic District", and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

A pedra angular foi lançada em 30 de junho de 1878 pelo arcebispo John Baptist Purcell, na presença de quase 10.000 pessoas. O edifício foi dedicado em 20 de dezembro de 1879. O interior contém um dos melhores altares dos Estados Unidos, custando US $ 20.000. As paróquias principais eram a Igreja de Santa Maria, em Over-the-Rhine, e a Igreja de São Paulo, em Pendleton . A congregação original era majoritariamente alemã. O altar principal de São Francisco de Sales foi consagrado pelo arcebispo WH Elder em 27 de abril de 1887. Foi um presente de Joseph Kleine e sua esposa Agnes Kleine, e foi esculpida por Fred e Henry Schroeder, de Cincinnati, a partir de desenhos de A. Kloster, de Nova York.
