The Diocese of Columbus has announced Real Presence, Real Future, a strategic planning initiative aimed at increasing the presence of Christ throughout its 23 counties over the next three years and upholding the Faith for future generations.
The Most Reverend Robert J. Brennan, Bishop of Columbus, launched the initiative to priests on December 1, 2020 and to parishes and schools on February 27-28, as a method of discerning the Diocese’s future and to usher in a new wave of evangelization initiatives to foster a greater sense of missionary discipleship.

Governor DeWine has mandated that everyone attending religious services in Ohio’s hardest-hit COVID counties must wear a face mask. Until further notice, we ask that you come to Mass wearing a mask. As this government health mandate continues; our special greeters may ask if you have a mask when you enter Church. If you do not have one or forgot your mask; we will have them available so that you can still attend Mass.
Please continue to do your part in maintaining social distancing to help prevent the spread of the virus during this pandemic. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this time.
