About St. John the Baptist Church (Italian Village)

St. John the Baptist Church in Columbus's Italian Village is a brick Gothic church with a slender spire, built by the city's Italian community, and a wedding there carries that heritage with it. The parish is home to the Diocesan Shrine of Padre Pio and to the Columbus Italian Festival, so many couples with Italian roots choose it for their wedding ceremony. The front steps and the spire make a fine opening for your wedding photos and your wedding video.

You don't have to belong to the parish: the church is open to couples who aren't members, as long as one of you is a practicing Catholic, with a letter of permission from your own pastor. Saturday wedding Masses are scheduled at 1:00 or 1:30 p.m., and ceremonies outside of Mass can also be held at 6:00 p.m. A dressing area for the bride and bridesmaids is ready about two hours before the ceremony, and the parish offers organ, piano and vocal music.

Afternoon weddings have the church from late morning until 3:00 p.m., when Saturday confessions begin, so build your pictures inside into that window and make sure your photographer and videographer know the deadline. Guests who have trouble with stairs can use the door under the main steps, where there's an elevator. A large parking lot sits diagonally across from the church, which makes the day easier for everyone.

Arrange your date well ahead; the parish guidelines ask for at least nine months.
Ask for the parish photography guidelines and share them with your team.
Plan your inside portraits before the 3:00 p.m. cutoff on your wedding day.

A little about St. John the Baptist Church

The church was dedicated in 1898 as the parish for Italian immigrants in Columbus, after the congregation had worshipped for nearly two years in a chapel of the cathedral. The parish is now joined with nearby Sacred Heart.
