CRAFT & COLLECTIBLES FAIR
This event takes place twice a year.
In 2024 it occurs on May 5th and November 3rd.
The Craft and Collectibles Fair is free to participants, and all vendors donate 10% of their profits to the St. Francis Center in McArthur, Ohio.
We are always looking for new vendors to join our fair!

or to volunteer.WHITE ELEPHANT EPIPHANY PARTY
Mark your calendar for Saturday, January 4th at 6:00 p.m. for the annual Epiphany Christmas Party! Besides great food, the highlight is the White Elephant gift exchange. Keep your eyes peeled for that quirky item that no one really wants--or better yet, regift that odd item Aunt Florence sent... Laughs abound as we close the Christmas season in style-or lack thereof.
MARDI GRAS PASTA DINNER
Always occurring the Saturday before Ash Wednesday, this event is one of two major annual fundraisers for our parish.
This Mardi Gras themed event is fun for the whole family and includes raffle items, a silent auction, bake sale, entertainment throughout the day and, of course, pasta!
We need lots of volunteers, raffle items and table sponsors.

Each Monday evening during Lent, we have a time of fellowship with delicious homemade soups, bread and a short Lenten educational program. During the final week, we celebrate Stations of the Cross as we prepare ourselves for Holy Week.MAY CROWNING
Our May crowning takes place in the side garden
after the 11:00 Masses on Mother's Day.
ANNUAL YARD SALEThis church fundraising event takes place on the first Saturday in June in conjunction with the Short North Civic Association Neighborhood Yard Sale.
Parishioners donate items to the church to sell. A great way to clean out your clutter and support your local parish.
ST. FRANCIS ANNUAL PET BLESSINGOur pet blessing takes place on the first Saturday in October. Parishioners and community members are invited to bring their pets for a special blessing. In years past, we have had the Columbus Police Mounted Unit here for blessings, as well as cats, dogs, rabbits, and other animals!
PARISH POTLUCK PICNIC
This event is held on the first Sunday in October
in conjunction with the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi.
We celebrate our Patronal Feast Day with our regular Masses, followed by our Potluck Picnic in the Parish Hall after the 11:30 Mass.
This is a great way to meet all of your fellow parishioners.
Great food and wonderful fellowship! -
