- De rooms-katholieke Saint Aloysius Church in Covington, Kentucky werd gewijd op 24 november 1867. Het orgel werd gebouwd door de firma Koehnken & Grimm. Het is in later jaren omgebouwd en uitgebreid door de firma Hillgreen-Lane. Dit werk is mogelijk uitgevoerd in 1911, toen de kerk ingrijpend werd vernieuwd.
- Het kerkgebouw is verloren gegaan door een uitslaande brand op 16 mei 1985, als gevolg van blikseminslag. De locatie van de kerk is nog goed te herkennen: een groot leeg parkeerterrein midden in de woonwijk.
