Bishop Earl Fernandes celebrated a final Mass at Columbus St. Anthony Church on Sunday, Oct. 15. The diocese announced earlier this year that the church in the Northland area on the city’s north side is closing after 60 years as part of the Real Presence Real Future initiative. The parish is merging with Columbus St. Elizabeth Church in the Sharon Woods neighborhood and with Columbus St. Matthias Church near Columbus St. Francis DeSales High School.
