We loved Father Dave during his pastorship at St. Albert the Great and for the many years thereafter. He officiated at our daughter's wedding and delivered a marvelous sermon. I enjoyed listening to and discussing grand opera. We will truly miss Father Dave. May he rest in peace and make sure every verse is sung and enjoy opera during those long hours in the confessional!!!

Reverend David C. Robisch, died Saturday, May 3, 2025. He was born in Cincinnati on July 6, 1937, the beloved son of the late Naomi (Matre) Robisch and Chris Robisch.
Survived by many cousins and dear friends, including Kathy Rotterman, his longtime friend and caregiver in his struggles with Parkinson’s disease.
After his studies at St. Gregory and Mt. St. Mary Seminaries and graduate studies at Xavier University, Fr. Robisch was ordained to the priesthood on December 22, 1962 by Archbishop Karl J. Alter. After ordination, he taught at Elder High School and served as assistant director at the University of Cincinnati’s Newman Center. From 1965 to 1970, he was secretary to Bishop Edward A. McCarthy and assistant chancellor for the archdiocese. The following ten years were spent as spiritual director at St. Gregory Seminary.

Airy (1965-66); St. Louis Church (1966-70); and St. Bernadette, Amelia (1970-80). In 1980, he became pastor of St. Albert the Great in Kettering, and in 1991 was named pastor of St. Mary in Hyde Park where he served until 2007. He retired from administration in 2007 and continued ministry helping on weekends at St. Columban, Loveland.
