Women's Conference: Sign Up to Volunteer

St Brendan is honored to be the host parish for the 2026 Columbus Catholic Women's Conference on February 21. Our volunteer sign up form is now available on our women's ministry web page (HERE). If you sign up to volunteer, (we need about 100 women to do so!) you will receive: an extra discount for the conference (link emailed after you sign up to volunteer), a free conference t-shirt, bus transportation to and back from the event, and an opportunity to help other women to boost their faith at the annual conference! Find details about the conference HERE

'The Appeal' is in the Home Stretch!

Father Dooley extends his warm thanks to families who have made their pledge to The Appeal 2025. We remain just over $10,000 away from our parish goal of $330,000. In these final days of 2025, Father asks for our help in supporting vocations, evangelization, Catholic education, and social concerns in Central Ohio. Before Fr Dooley arrived in 2024, Fr Bob made a similar request to help reach our respective goal before the transition. Fr Dooley would like to extend the same courtesy to Fr Lumpe, who will become our pastor in February. This would alleviate one thing off his plate before stepping into one of the biggest assignments in the diocese — and it would give us one more triumph to celebrate with Fr Dooley before his departure.If you have not yet made your pledge, or would like to adjust your existing one, you can do so easily HERE.

There are also remittance envelopes in the gathering space. All parish families are expected to support The Appeal on a yearly basis alongside their church offertory. Every gift, no matter the size, will bolster our Catholic faith and the ministries we hold dear. Thank you!

New Updated Volunteer Policies

The Diocese of Columbus updated new policies regarding Safe Environment to strengthen protection for children, youth and vulnerable adults across our diocese including:
  • Background checks and VIRTUS training must be completed before beginning any service involving minors, with renewals every 5 years. If you have had a background check completed but have not been actively volunteering with children for more than 18 months, you must have your background check updated, even if your initial background check is less than 5 years old.
  • Reinforcement of the Two-Deep Policy, requiring that no adult is ever alone with a minor, and maintaining proper adult-to-minor supervision ratios for all activities.
  • When both male and female minors are present during evening hours, there must be at least one male and one female volunteer. This ensures appropriate boundaries and comfort for all participants.

Preschool Registration is Now Open!

Our collaborative preschool at St Margaret of Cortona has opened enrollment for next year. Hosting full and part-day offerings, families with children who will be aged 3-5 next fall are encouraged to learn more. Classes have filled up each of the past two years, so don't delay! Register HERE. Questions can be directed to Preschool Director, Andrea Boyd at aboyd@cdeducation.org
