History

The Diocese of Southern Ohio was created from the Diocese of Ohio in 1875. The diocese's original cathedral, St. Paul Episcopal Cathedral, Cincinnati, was located in downtown Cincinnati but was demolished in 1937 due to structural problems. Thomas A. Jaggar became the first bishop in 1875. The see was vacant following the retirement of Thomas E. Breidenthal on November 29, 2020.

Bishop Wayne Smith of Missouri was elected as the Provisional Bishop on July 17, 2021. [1]

Bishop Kristen Uffelman White, the current bishop, became the first female bishop of the Diocese of Southern Ohio on February 17, 2024.
