Saint Brendan the Navigator Church is a church in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus, Ohio. The parish is located in Hilliard, Ohio. Its patron is Saint Brendan of Clonfert, known as "The Navigator" for his legendary voyages. The church operates a K-8 Catholic school located on the same site.
The current church building, originally dedicated in 1981, was built with a striking asymmetrical design with many unique elements. Notably, the church tabernacle is an 8-foot-tall (2.4 m) smooth granite column designed after the Monolith of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Famous quotes containing the words saint and/or church:
“O Paddy dear, an’ did ye hear the news that’s goin’ round?
The shamrock is by law forbid to grow on Irish ground!
No more Saint Patrick’s Day we’ll keep, his colour can’t be seen,
For there’s a cruel law agin the wearin’ o’ the Green!”
—Unknown. The Wearing of the Green (l. 37–40)
“A church is disaffected when it is persecuted, quiet when it is tolerated, and actively loyal when it is favoured and cherished.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
