The Italian Catholic Community at Saint John the Baptist
Located in Columbus' historic Italian Village neighborhood, St. John the Baptist beckons as a haven.
The cornerstone having been laid in early 1898, St. John the Baptist was conceived as a location to minister to the needs of Columbus' Italian population. More than a century later, our church stands strong as a place of worship, as well as the host of the annual Italian Festival. http://www.columbusitalianfestival.com/Upcoming Church Events
Events are shown below:
May Crowning: The Altar Guild will be sponsoring May Crowning on Sunday, May 12. All children in grades K-8 are invited to join in the procession. One girl will be selected to crown our Blessed Mother. We will have a quick practice at 8:45 a.m. for those participating in the May Crowning. Please let an Altar Guild member know if your child(ren) would like to participate.
St. Anthony of Padua Celebration: Our annual St. Anthony of Padua celebration will be held Sunday, June 9th at 10:00 a.m. Please note that the Mass time is changed for June 9th only. We will begin at 9:45 a.m. with the music leading the procession carrying the statue of St. Anthony. We encourage all parishioners, friends, and their children to participate in the procession. Anyone wishing to dress their child (age K-11 years old) in a monk's costume please be at Marrapese Hall by 9:30 a.m. Please call or text Irene Solazzo (614-778-7225) or Tina Solazzo (614-806-4343) to let us know if you have a child who will participate in the procession.
