Meet Our Church’s Office Administrator… Mrs. Katie Collins takes on the responsibility of Office Administrator at St. Columba Church. Many of you know Katie from when she was administrative assistant to Mr. Doug Martin in the office of Faith Formation. Now we welcome Katie to the church office. Katie, her husband, Bobby, and their daughters, Ragan & Katelyn, are in the latest directory. They have been parishioners for many years and continue to be involved in the life of St. Columba. Take a moment to greet Katie and her family at Mass (usually the 5pm Life Teen Mass) or stop by the office anytime. Get to know the person who answers the phone when you call. We welcome her to the church office and she looks forward to working with you in the future.

Do people ask you about the Catholic Church? Do you get questions about Pope Francis or what we believe? Perhaps some are waiting for an invitation to come to R.C.I.A. It is not too early to publicize when the next R.C.I.A. process begins! It is not too early either for you to invite someone you know who might be interested in finding out more about the Catholic Church from Catholics. The first session begins on July 25, 2017. Spread the word, please.
