St. Francis of Assisi Church, Columbus

Saint Francis of Assisi is Roman Catholic church established in 1892 by Bishop Watterson. In 1907 a school was built on the grounds and in 1913 a pipe organ from the Barckhoff Organ Co. of Pomeroy, Ohio was installed. Restoration of the building, school and rectory took place in 1986, preserving the original design. Gaining momentum in the community, this church is well-known for its beautiful choir and organ music.
