On behalf of St. Columba Parish, I welcome you to our website. We are a vibrant Catholic community "doing God's work on earth." Founded in 1881, we have a noteworthy presence in Durango, Colorado.

Easter season leads to Pentecost, Pentecost segues immediately into Ordinary Time, and the cycle continues. And again, we thank God for all the ministries that so many parishioners keep active in the Parish. We are blessed to have 47 ministry groups serving the needs of our parish and the wider community through prayer and action. We support St. Columba School, preschool through eighth grade with strong Catholic education partnered with a solid religious education and youth ministry program.

I invite you to explore our website to learn more about the exciting things happening here at St. Columba Parish. As pastor, I am especially thankful for God’s help in giving us a community spirit that is broader than just the Parish. Whether you are visiting or joining our Parish, I look forward to formally welcoming you. If there is any way that I or any member of our staff might be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely in the Lord,

Rev. James F. Koenigsfeld Pastor
