Parish life has changed over the years but it still remains an important entity for Catholic people. Sociologists and theologians still see the parish is a “uniquely successful social and religious institution.”Read MoreFor Catholics the parish is “where the rubber meets the road.” Faith and action, worship and ministry, outreach to the poor and marginalized all come together in the parish. St. Columba Parish is crucial for us as we grow in faith and put our faith into action.
That is the reason for our theme this year “Invest Yourself, Grow Your Faith.” It takes the investment of ourselves — our Time, Talent, & Treasure— for our Parish to be a prayerful community, at the service of one another.
Our model for all this is Jesus Christ. He invested himself for us on the Cross dying so that we might have life. Look again at the logo above.
Investment is also a decision for us to return to God our generous gift from all God has given to us. Over the next few weeks I invite you to give your decision to invest in God’s work prayer thought. Lay that decision side by side with other important financial decisions. God deserves first place in our decision making process. “Invest Yourself, Grow Your Faith.”
