We are happy to have some bigger OLBers with us for our summer program because they set a great example for the younger students. They help with so many things like campus projects, reading to younger students, having their own buddy for morning meeting and much more. We also make sure they still have time to have some fun themselves!

The youngest of the faithful in the diocese are praying for you all as you each begin your priestly vocation.

Join us in celebrating the gift of our five newly ordained priests for the Diocese of Columbus!

Gracious and loving God, we thank you for the gift of all our priests. Through them, we experience your presence in the sacraments.

Help our priests to be strong in their vocation.
Set their souls on fire with love for your people.

Grant them the wisdom, understanding, and strength they need to follow in the footsteps of Jesus.
Inspire them with the vision of your Kingdom.

Give them the words they need to spread the Gospel.
Allow them to experience joy in their ministry.

Help them to become instruments of your divine grace.

We ask this through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns as our Eternal Priest.

Amen.

One thing that sets OLB's Kindergarten apart is how we lift our students up and offer them opportunities that others might think are beyond their age or abilities. This week two of our Kindergarten students went to St. Gabriel Radio to record a radio spot. We are grateful to everyone at St. Gabriel, especially Studio Manager Dave Orsborn. Make sure you tune in and listen to the lovely job they did.

Our Story

Our Lady of Bethlehem School was opened in 1957 by the Sisters of the Poor Child Jesus, based in the Netherlands. After finding such success in establishing convents and schools throughout Europe, the Sisters of the Poor Child Jesus expanded to North America. Our Lady of Bethlehem Convent was founded in Columbus in 1956 and the school opened the following year.

In 1957, the Sisters established Our Lady of Bethlehem School as a Kindergarten program and then moved to add childcare in 1985 as they saw a large need and shift in the parent dynamic. Since that time and in that tradition, offerings have broadened to include Totally Terrific Twos, Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten.

Most recently in September 2012, Our Lady of Bethlehem opened the first comprehensive Catholic Infant and Toddler Program, which provides our most optimum learning for those critical years.Our Lady of Bethlehem offers optimum care and is the ideal early childhood educational school for children six weeks through Kindergarten.

The heritage of the school and the influence of the Sisters remain today, including the unique curriculum built on the concept that children learn best in a loving, nurturing and structured environment.
