Rocktoberfest Sponsorship

Dear Friend of St. Barbara Parish,


St. Barbara Church is excited to announce our 13th year anniversary of Rocktoberfest, September 13th thru September 15th. Preparations have already begun for what is one of the largest and best festivals in Northern Kentucky.


We are turning to our community to help make this event a huge success so we can once again celebrate our Christian fellowship! Through your generosity you can market and advertise your

business and help St. Barbara Parish extend assistance to the community at large. If you can’t be a full sponsor you can make any size monetary or in-kind donation. St. Barbara Church is a

non-profit organization and your donation is tax exempt (501)(C)(3).


Each sponsor will be recognized by the Northern Kentucky community, the St. Barbara congregation (1700 families) and thousands of festival patrons. We offer multiple levels of

sponsorship to work with any size budget. Please see the Sponsorship Application for details.


Your contribution, continued support and community involvement is greatly appreciated.


Please submit your application by July 1, 2024.  Your thoughtful consideration is greatly appreciated. May God bless you and your family for your donation and we hope to see you at this year’s Rocktoberfest! Click on the button below to begin your sponsorship.


Many thanks for your sponsorship! We look forward to seeing you at Rocktoberfest.

The Cathedral Study

Consider the ramparts, examine its citadels, that you may tell future generations. Ps 48:14

Given its age and condition reports, an extensive survey and study of the Cathedral exterior was conducted in 2020. Utilizing a laser scan of the exterior, a precise 3D model of the Cathedral was generated for reference and analysis. Using this model, architects, conservators, and masons conducted several weeks of exhaustive field observations from ground level to the use of a 250 foot crane. The Cathedral was found to be in good condition with little signs of structural movement. Other areas, however, like decorative stone supports and ornamental elements have extensive, hazardous deterioration requiring immediate attention:

 

  • Buttresses, piers, and belt courses have eroded and split, requiring replication and replacement
  • Terra cotta gargoyles and chimeras, limestone columns, finials, and arcades are cracked and crumbling, requiring complete restoration, replication, and replacement
  • Lintels, armatures, and colonnades held together by iron pins have eroded from rust and water entrenchment, leaving them vulnerable to collapse
