COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH)– For the second year in a row, the pandemic is changing the way area Catholic Churches recognize the Lenten season. This year, a lot of churches have canceled their fish fries.
There are plenty of other Columbus locations that have found a way to move forward and keep the seasonal tradition going. The Columbus Diocese has a detailed explanation online about how and why some events were unable to be scheduled and the list below was able to make it happen.
