WINTERFEST 2024: Please mark your calendar for Winterfest at Saint Columba Church on Saturday, , November 23, 2024, 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. We are so excited to announce that this year, we will be celebrating our 20th WINTERFEST! Each year WINTERFEST strives to create a “WONDROUS (Christmas) EXCHANGE” where we as a parish family unite with our community for holiday food, friendship and fun! But, we need your help! We will need a large variety of cookies for our “cookie variety” package. We also need fudge, candies, chocolate covered pretzels, tea cakes, pies, etc. plus a variety of soups, and chili; so please start looking through your cookbooks! We are also asking for donations of gift cards and lottery tickets to be used in our raffle. We would love to have your “helping hands”on the day of Winterfest as well! Please call the church office to volunteer your help or if you have any questions. Thank you!

Next Sunday’s Readings, October 6, 2024
The 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time
God created man and woman and made them equal. He placed them in the Garden of Paradise because He wanted them to be happy. He
gave man and woman to each other so that they might bring happiness to each other. He wanted them to become one in mind, one in heart, and one in affections. This is the plan of God for marriage. Husband and wife are to become one in all ways and to bring happiness to each other. This is what God created for a couple. Adam and Eve walked and talked with God in the cool of the evening. God wants to be close to all married couples.

Weekly Homilies
Weekly Homilies
A homily is a speech or sermon given by a priest in a Roman Catholic Church after a scripture has been read. The purpose of the homily is to provide insight into the meaning of the scripture and relate it to the lives of the parishioners of the church.
Saint Columba Church records each Sunday’s homily and offers them here to you for reflection or a deeper understanding of the scripture.
Listen to Father Mowery/Deacon Tom Conlin’s most recent homilies below:

PRAYER FOR SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
A PARISH THANK YOU
To Mike Zarrett, owner of Towne Camera in Bloomsburg, for his gracious sharing of two most amazing lenses for us to use these past several years to record our Daily, Holyday, and Sunday Masses.
