Rev. Tensi and the St. Columban staff are working diligently to review and implement the directives for a safe “soft” reopening of the church. There are many steps and procedures to plan and implement for the safe return of people into the church to celebrate Mass in community. Details of all the changes necessary to ensure the health and safety of everyone who will attend mass are not final at this time. Tensi hopes to have completed review and planning by the end of this week. St. Columban will update the community as soon as planning is complete. The first regular weekend Mass schedule was previously announced for the following weekend of May 30-31.
St. Columban Church is a Catholic Community located at 894 Oakland Rd., Loveland, OH 45140
