Familiar with Dayton Ohio - I need some help?

turtlefoot · Jun 4, 2011

Hi All,

I'm looking for someone who can help me with a Dayton, Ohio landmark. It is the "Our Lady of Bel-Mont" or "Our Lady of Belmont" shrine. It was dedicated in May 18, 1958 by Archbishop Karl J. Alter.

Is it still around? If so, what is it called today? I looked on the Ohio Holy Sites and Shrines website and it was not listed. I have done a look of looking online and cannot find it.

I found a commorative plate in an auction lot, hand colored, from the 1958 dedication and am trying to research it before selling it.

Thanks,
Doug

I didn't find anything concete

But these may be leads.

There is a group in Dayton that might be able to give you a better lead.

That is a Marianist retreat in Dayton.

Also, a little background on the archbishop.

It seems he did live on Belmont street at one time.........

Hope this helps!
