ANNUAL PARISH EVENTS

Yard Sale-July 31, 2021 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

This event is the one of the 2 major fundraisers our parish does on an annual basis. Instead of taking place the first Saturday in June, this year the parish Yard Sale will occur on July 31st in conjunction with the Short North neighborhood Yard Sale. Parishioners donate their items to the church, as well as their time to help get things set up and ready to sell.  Donations are being accepted through Wednesday, 7/28.  We are in need of additional volunteers, particularly on the day of the sale.  
Contact Marti Damm at marti.joy.damm@gmail.com with questions or to help out. Thanks!

Pet Blessing

Our annual Pet Blessing usually falls on the first Saturday in October, in conjunction with the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi. 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

Our Annual Parish Potluck is held in October in conjunction with the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi. This is a great time for the Parish to celebrate with one Mass and have all our parishioners together. Our Potluck is in the Parish Hall and a fun celebration for all. It's good food and excellent fellowship!

Craft Fair

We offer a craft fair twice a year, the first Sunday in May and November. The craft fair is free to participate, 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. We would love to see this event get bigger each year, so the donation we make can make a big impact on those who need it most.

Mardi Gras Pasta Dinner

Always occurring the Saturday before Ash Wednesday, our 2022 Pasta Dinner will take place on February 26th.  This event is one of the two major fundraisers our parish does on an annual basis. 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'll need lots of volunteers, raffle items and table sponsors. See pictures from our 2020 dinner below!

Lenten Soup Suppers

Each Monday evening during Lent, we have a time of fellowship with delicious homemade soups and a short program. Each week is a different speaker and topic. This event always ends with the Stations of the Cross, where parishioners speak on how the stations are reflected in their lives.

May Crowning

One Sunday in May we crown our mother, Mary, in the side garden.
