SERVICE & JUSTICE

ST. COLUMBA SERVICE & JUSTICE MINISTRY

Join your fellow parishioners as we Share God’s Love.

St. Columba Parishioners answer the call of discipleship and share from their resources with those in need throughout our local community, across the nation, and across the world.

 

The Service & Justice Ministry spearheads outreach efforts of parishioners through a multitude of ministries and appeals, offering opportunities for everyone to share God’s love through gifts of time and/or treasure. The Service & Justice Ministry is a volunteer effort led by seven dedicated parishioners, and we are always looking for more help in discerning the best way to implement Catholic Social Teaching at St. Columba Parish. To learn more or to get involved, please contact Donna Rheault at donnarheault@gmail.com

 

Consider donating to our Food Pantry or preparing dinners for the VOA Shelter. Consider sharing the Gospel with prisoners or purchasing much-needed items for a local nonprofit as part of a Helping Hands appeal.


Your time and your gifts are the hands and feet of Christ.

OUTREACH GIVING

St. Columba Catholic Church supports those in need through our parish Outreach Giving ministry. Each quarter, Service & Justice Ministry volunteers evaluate needs and designate a portion of the parish’s offertory gifts to local, national, and international charities working to help our most vulnerable neighbors near and far. We are each called to direct our first fruits in service to God, and the parish puts this discipleship practice into action through Outreach Giving.
