MEET OUR PASTOR
REV. ROBERT J. REINHART
Fr. Reinhart grew up in Immaculate Conception Parish,
one of nine children of Angela and Bob Reinhart. While his father is deceased Mrs.
Reinhart is living in Ft. Myers, Florida, and will be turning 93 this month. This assignment to OLPH is his
first near his old neighborhood.
His seminary training began at St. Meinrad’s in
southern Indiana and then at Mount St. Mary’s in Norwood, Ohio. He was ordained May 27, 1961 and
assigned to St. Ann’s in Fremont, as well as teaching at St. Joseph’s
High School. In 1964
Father’s next assignment was St. Catherine’s; he also began a 12-year
span of teaching at Central Catholic High School. While teaching he was moved to
St. Vincent de Paul, becoming pastor in 1972.
Little did he know when he became pastor of Rosary
Cathedral in 1976, that he would probably be remembered most for his part
in the renovation of our magnificent Cathedral. St. Mary’s in Sandusky welcomed Fr. Reinhart in 1981
for a 10-year period until his assignment to Blessed Sacrament, where he
was pastor for 14 years.
His year studying at Catholic University in 1967-1968
created an avid student of the Second Vatican Council. Fr. Reinhart welcomes the
opportunity to serve OLPH as our 10th pastor.
