Join fellow parishioners as St Columbkille comes together to Serve Others. There are several different projects planned throughout the day. See all of the listings below. There’s something for everyone!

Serve the Poor: Food and Clothing Pantry Volunteer

Serve the poor of the Slavic Village area as St. Columbkille volunteers staff the Food and Clothing Pantry at Ozanam Center at Holy Name Church on Broadway Ave. Pack bags of canned food and produce, carry bags of food to pick-up line, and sort and hang clothing donations.

Serve the Sick, Lonely, and Disabled: “A YUMMY TREAT FOR SOMEONE SWEET”

Join our mission to spread joy and kindness to the residents of nursing homes in our local community. For many of the residents, Sweetest Day can pass by unnoticed. You can change that by volunteering to bake, package, or serve “Yummy Treats” that remind the residents that they are loved and remembered. Choose the project that’s right for you!

Service Project at Home: Volunteers are asked to bake 2 dozen home-made cookies. No peanuts or nuts, please! Baked cookies must be dropped off at the parish rectory office on Friday, October 17th between 9 AM and 4:30 PM or at the drive-thru drop-off line at the main entrance of the school between 9:30 AM and 10:00 AM on Saturday, October 18th. So that we are prepared with sufficient supplies to package the “yummy treats”, please let us know if you will be baking cookies. Add your name to the list by using the Sign-Up Genius or by calling the parish office.

Service Project at St. Columbkille: Join us in the school gym to package the cookies, baked by our parishioners, in cute little packages for easy distribution at Pama Care Center, Seven Hills Health and Rehab Center, and Broadview Multi-Care Center. School-age children are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult. Easy instructions and all materials will be provided.

Where: St. Columbkille School Gym Time: 10 AM - 12 PM

Service Project at Broadview Multi-Care Center: Put a smile on a resident’s face by attending the Cookies and Punch Social hosted by St. Columbkille at Broadview Multi-Care Center.
