Welcome to St. John the Baptist

Welcome

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.

We welcome you to our Saint John the Baptist family. As a member of Saint John the Baptist, you are embracing the responsibility of weekly worship and supporting God’s work in our parish through the generous sharing of your time, talents, and Sunday offering as a sign of your love for God and gratitude for His many blessings.
