Holy Family Church

About this church

Holy Family Church on West Broad Street in Columbus celebrates Mass Saturday at 9 a.m. and Sunday at 9 and 11 a.m., 5 p.m., and 8 p.m. Weekday Mass is offered Monday through Friday at 12:15 p.m., preceded by confession at 11:30. The parish also publishes several Sunday confession periods before its four Masses. Religious education meets Sunday from 10:30 to 11:45 a.m., so families can pair class with either the 9 or 11 a.m. liturgy depending on current check-in guidance. The official schedule should be reviewed for feast-day changes and special devotions.

Established in 1877 in Franklinton, Holy Family was the fifth Catholic parish founded in Columbus. Unlike several older ethnic parishes, it was created to serve Catholics west of the Scioto River regardless of country of origin. The parish describes its life as reverent Sacred Liturgy joined to service for people who are poor or otherwise vulnerable. Its CCD program welcomes ages three through eighth grade and treats parents as the primary teachers of faith, combining intellectual, emotional, and spiritual formation. The campus also operates a soup kitchen capable of serving up to two hundred people and hosts recurring devotions such as the St. Anthony of Padua devotion after Tuesday Mass. First-time worshipers should use the church address on Broad Street; parish offices and the center have a separate West Gay Street address.
