Sacred Heart Church is a Catholic church in the parish of Camp Washington in Cincinnati, Ohio.[1]

The original church was originally located on Broadway and served a primarily Italian population. The church merged with the Camp Washington congregation, which had originally served a primarily German population, in 1969.[2]

The church is the home of the Cincinnati chapter of the Order of the Sons & Daughters of Italy in America.[3]

Sacred Heart has since 1910 hosted a ravioli dinner twice a year, in the spring on Palm Sunday and on a date in October.[1][4][5] A parish member, Antonio Palazzolo, who was a pasta importer in Cincinnati, developed the recipe for a large hand-rolled spinach and ricotta ravioli served with sauce and meatballs.[1] As of 2015 over 200,000 ravioli were rolled for each dinner.[1][6]
