THAT MAN IS YOU-MEN’S GROUP: TMIY is St Columba’s men’s group. This fall is The Light of Men, diving into the light of the world, saints, prayer, truth, resurrection and leadership to overcome the darkness. We meet weekly, Saturday mornings 6:30-7:45 a.m. in the upstairs parish center, ending December 16. We are always looking for a few more guys to make new friends with while we learn about God, we are asking for people to try just 2 weeks this year to see if you like it, any two weeks is fine. Can you come for 2 Saturdays to see if this is for you? Please feel free to call Jeff Cizewski @ 570-380-9489 with questions, We look forward to seeing YOU!
Youth Group, GRADES 6-9: From Sr. Suzanne: “I delight in every opportunity I have with your daughter/son. I hope that participating in these monthly events brings them closer to finding God in themselves and others, and expands their world to make it a better place. At the invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Reese, the young people are invited to enjoy a fall evening of fun at the Reese’s property in Catawissa on Thurs. Sept. 28 from 5:30-7:00 p.m. Please contact me at srsuzanne@saintcolumbaschool.org with questions and RSVP by Wed. Sept. 27. I must know the number attending.”
Angels for Life: On Sunday, October 8, we will be offering a simple breakfast in the cafeteria after the 10:30 a.m. Mass. We will also have a table set up with our baby models, jewelry and literature. At 12:15 p.m., we will head up to the fountain for the annual LIFE CHAIN. This is a time of prayer and peaceful demonstration of our convictions for LIFE at every stage. This has been a national movement of solidarity for decades. Join us for this or just for coffee and bagels.
