A Word From Your Pastor
Dear Parishioners:
We are reaching the close of the Easter Season. The time from Ascension until Pentecost is an intense time of prayer for the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Church. We have had a series of Sacramental events and even world-wide events in the past several months that have offered us a vision of the meaning of this prayer and this sacred time.
At the Solemn Vigil of Easter, we welcomed new Catholics among us through the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. These are the Sacraments of Initiation that unite us to the Church. Baptism and Confirmation make us... Click to Read the Full Letter
St. Edward’s extends a sincere “Congratulations!” to the graduating seniors of the Class of 2025. Graduation is an incredible milestone, marking the completion of years of hard work and dedication. Graduates and their families are invited to a Graduation Celebration in conjunction with Welcome Sunday this weekend. Seniors are welcome to wear their cap and gown as the parish celebrates you. After the 8:15 a.m. Mass, gather in Enke Parish Hall for cake and well wishes.
Saturday Mornings
All men are invited to our Saturday morning men’s fellowship gatherings on Saturday mornings at 7am. For this Easter season we will be watching and discussing the video series: “The Creed” by Bishop Robert Barron. The meeting is held in the Lounge.
We Have Raised 79% of Our Goal Thus Far!
The 2025 Appeal continues, and we would like to thank all the parishioners that have pledged to this year’s campaign. Spring is the time of many sacraments at Church of St. Edward the Confessor. The Appeal, through its support of Catholic Education and Faith Formation, funds the Catechism programs and diocesan resources for parishes like ours. It assists our staff in preparing our children and adults for these blessed sacraments that bring them closer to our Father.
We are so close to making the goal of $111,705 that the Columbus Diocese challenged us to. Everything earned beyond that amount goes back to St. Ed's so we can use it to help with major projects. If you have not had the opportunity to donate, please use one of the pledge cards provided in the pews or go online to columbuscatholicgiving.org to make a secure pledge or gift to our parish. Remember no gift is too small. We need everyone to get involved! Thank you for your generosity.
