Saint Mary Church, Columbus
Saint Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church is a mid-19th century church building that reflects the German architecture from days gone by. Groundbreaking on this church occurred in 1866, though the spire wasn't added until 1893. In 1894, a clock was added to the tower, which completed the church's construction.
Those interested in viewing the exterior of the church will find a neatly manicured lawn, arched windows and doors and ornate stained glass windows. Visitors who would like to see the interior of the church may do so by attending one of the church services. Those visitors will see 10 painted ceiling panels, oil frescoes, a 12-foot long crucifix and a 20-foot wide white walnut altarpiece.
Any member of the public can attend church service at Saint Mary. Vigil mass is every Saturday at 4 PM. Sunday services are held at 9 AM and 11:30 AM. Visitors can also tour the Saint Mary Church and School Alumni Museum between the two Sunday masses.
