I'm New to the Community of St. Joseph Cathedral and Holy Cross Church Columbus, OH. Where Do I Start?
Welcome to the parish community! We’re so glad you’ve decided to join us. If you haven’t already, say hi to our parish priest, Father Kitsmiller or any of our other priests. They would love to meet you.
Doors are usually open 1/2 hour before Mass starts, feel free to come up to any of our volunteers and introduce yourself. We have various ministries available in the parish so please don’t hesitate to ask any of our volunteers about ways to get involved.
Here at Saint Joseph Cathedral Parish we want to love God, to love one another, and to make the name of Jesus known.

If you have never been to Mass before, or if you haven't gone in a long time, we are excited to have you join us as we celebrate and worship together. We understand that it may feel foreign at first, and that some parts might seem confusing. The last thing we would want is for you to feel unwelcome during the service, so we have created a little guide for you to help you understand the liturgy a little better.
Welcome to the Community of Saint Joseph Cathedral and Holy Cross Church. I invite you to join us for Mass, for one of the Weekly Holy Hours and other liturgies, for one of our Choir concerts, or just stop by for quiet prayer. In any case I pray that you find in our parish family the joy, peace and comfort that Jesus promises to His disciples.
The quality of the Christian Life and the strength of our parish community is a direct result of our being centered in Jesus Christ and nourished by both Word and Sacrament – especially the Eucharist. Jesus invites us 23 times in the New Testament to “follow Him.” Nurtured by the spiritual nourishment of our Savior, we are compelled to “be doers of the word, not hearers only” (James 1:22) which translates into living our faith as disciples of Christ. Our faith cannot be stagnant; we need to live our faith in order to achieve authentic discipleship.
We encourage our parishioners to become involved in the various ministries offered through membership in our parish family. We believe that the spiritual nourishment we receive from our prayer and sacramental life helps us to be “our brother’s (and sister’s) keeper” within our parish community, in addition to actively reaching out to help others – to love others as Christ loves us.
On behalf of the priests, deacons, parish staff and the entire parish community I warmly welcome you to The Community of Saint Joseph Cathedral and Holy Cross Church
