Our Vision — To create a vibrant community gathering space. 


Our Mission — To enrich life through opportunities for exploration; celebration; growth; and unity of body, mind and spirit.


The old barn at St. Clare Convent in CincinnatiOhio was structurally sound, so the Franciscan Sisters of the Poor renovated it and put it to use as a space for community and celebration.  Renamed the "Centennial Barn", its programs offer opportunities for spiritual exploration, personal growth, unity of body, mind and spirit; and a chance to build community.

  The Centennial Barn is Cincinnati’s all-in-one location for naturally elegant events. Our spacious facility, picturesque green spaces and gardens, and quaint chapel make it the perfect venue for any party, reception, ceremony, or fundraiser. Situated on the beautiful grounds of the St. Clare Convent in Hartwell, the Centennial Barn is also a natural choice for weddings.

Newly renovated, with state of the art sound and projection technology, the Centennial Barn is ideal for business functions, corporate meetings, and retreats. Only twenty minutes from downtown Cincinnati, this scenic venue offers the peace and tranquility of the country with all the convenience of the suburbs.

The staff of the Centennial Barn is committed to making your event an occasion to remember. Call us today to learn more about how we can bring natural elegance to your next special event.


Community Garden

The Franciscan Community Gardens started in 2009. The first year 25 gardeners farmed their own plots and participated in the Food Bank plot through which over 2500 pounds of produce was donated through local service agencies.  In 2010, the number of neighborhood garden plots grew to 62 and we added a communal garden for the Bhutanese refugee community and an occupational garden managed by the Findlay Market Urban Farmers program.

The Centennial Barn offers space for people to host classes, activities and programs for the community.  If you have something you love to do and want to share?  There is room and support for you here!

People of all faiths welcomed and appreciated.  Let's learn from each other!
