New Appointment forBishop Brennan
On September 29, 2021, the Vatican announced that Pope Francis has appointed the Most Reverend Robert J. Brennan, Bishop of Columbus, as the Eighth Bishop of the Diocese of Brooklyn, New York. A Mass of Installation for Bishop Brennan will be celebrated on Tuesday, November 30, 2021 at 2 p.m. at the Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph.
"I have been very happy here in ohio and am heartbroken that I will be leaving," Bishop Brennan said. "I came to know amazing people here, and there is tremendous sadness leaving you behind."
He also commented, "To the people of the Diocese of Columbus, I recognize this announcement comes as an enormous surprise, but we entrust ourselves to the Lord, and we will move forward confident that the Holy Spirit is the constant guide for the Church and its people, especially when a new bishop will be chosen to lead the Diocese of Columbus.
"All of you are in my prayers in a very special way today, and you will remain in my prayers and in my heart every day of my life. Please pray for me as well. Continue placing your trust in our loving Lord and carry on this marvelous journey of faith that we have been on together these last two and a half years as fellow missionary disciples of our Lord and savior."
The Vatican will announce a successor to Bishop Brennan at a future date. In the meantime, he will lead the Diocese of Columbus until November 30th. Then the diocesan College of Consultors will elect a diocesan administrator to lead until a new bishop is appointed and installed.

Obligation to Observe Sunday Mass Reinstated:How St. John is Adjusting
The Sunday obligation has been reinstated and the State of Ohio has lifted the social distance and mask restrictions. With this in mind, St. John has also made changes to our seating so that parishioners and guests can enjoy being back in church safely.
While most of our pews have been opened, we have kept a few pews roped off to allow for social distancing. These pews can be found in the front of the church and on the St. Joseph side of the church.
Masks are no longer required, but you are more than welcome to wear them if that makes you comfortable.
Overflow will continue to be provided, as needed, in the Church Hall.
For those with health issues, in nursing homes, or shut-ins, we will continue to live-stream the 10 a.m. Sunday Mass on our Facebook page (St John Logan Ohio).
As Fr. Steve said, "Please remember that we are called to care for each other and make wise decisions on what is the current knowledge."

Prayer to St. Joseph(Year of St. Joseph)
To you, O blessed Joseph, do we come in our afflictions, and having implored the help of your most holy Spouse, we confidently invoke your patronage also.
Through that charity which bound you to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God and through the paternal love with which you embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beg you graciously to regard the inheritance which Jesus Christ was purchased by his Blood, and with your power and strength to aid us in our necessities.
O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family, defend the chosen children of Jesus Christ; O most loving father, ward off from us every contagion of error and corrupting influence; O our most mighty protector, be kind to us and from heaven assist us in our struggle with the power of darkeness.
As once you rescued the Child Jesus from deadly peril, so now protect God's Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity; shield, too, each one of us by your constant protection, so that, supported by your example and your aid, we may be able to live piously, to die in holiness, and to obtain eternal happiness in heaven. Amen.
