Beware of Scammers
If you receive texts or emails from someone claiming to be one of our priests or parish staff member, asking for your help (usually in buying gift cards), it's not them. It’s a scam. Your pastor or parish staff will never contact you directly with a monetary request of this nature. Messages asking parishioners to help fulfill a need come through the parish or diocese’s official communication channels or through a collection approved by the diocese. If you’re not sure about a text or email, do not engage. Verify in person or by phone any request involving money or personal information. Official email handles for our parish and diocese are: @stbrendans.net, @ccbchurch.com, @pushpay.com or @columbuscatholic.org
OCIA team members are needed in the following roles:
Leadership Team, Sponsors, Hospitality (snacks/setup), Prayer Team, Card Committee, Social Committee, childcare and tech support.
