Mission Statement
Nurturing our congregation. Connecting with our community.
Inspired by the Holy Spirit, faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ, and committed to the worship of God the Father, St. Columba Roman Catholic Church strives to develop, support, and maintain a strong family spirit by instilling a love of God and neighbor in all its members. As we participate fully in the liturgy, reflect on the Word of God, and receive the Sacraments, we continue in our faith formation. Our members are encouraged to share their time, talent, and treasure to provide outreach through various ministries and to respond compassionately to the needs of others in our Parish, community, and the world.

About Our Logo
In Christian traditions, the dove (Latin: Columba) appears as a symbol and as a Eucharistic vessel. As a symbol of the Holy Spirit, it appears especially in representations of the baptism of Our Lord ( Matthew 3:16 ) and of Pentecost. St. Gregory the Great (590-604) is generally shown with a dove on his shoulder, symbolizing inspiration or rather Divine guidance. In general, the symbol occurs frequently in connection with early representations of baptism. As a symbol of the Church, a dove is an agent through which the Holy Spirit works on earth.
The colored blocks are representative icons of our church’s unique window design.
Thanks to Jessica Rubenstein for the finished design.
