Wednesday, July 16, 7-9pm, Maple Grove United Methodist Church, 7 W. Henderson Rd.
Rev Irene Scaramazza, Columbus’ own female Roman Catholic priest, will be presiding at our St. Mary Magdala Mass celebration in honor of the first apostle.
Let’s honor God’s calling of women to be priests and deacons.
If you’ve never been to Mass with a female priest, come and see for yourself what Mass would be like if we allowed women to answer God’s calling to them.
Hosted by Call to Action Columbus.

“Three Million People, One City’s Future”
Is Columbus ready to hit three million residents? Ready or not, it’s a milestone that’s just 25 years away, according to estimates.

And what happens if it isn’t?
