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.
