SCS strives to integrate religious truths and values with knowledge and skills in order to provide a quality education for all students. This vision motivates our students to not only grow academically, but physically, culturally, and socially.
Our school mission is to develop our students to live their lives as a Witness to Jesus. We believe our school exists to teach the mandate of Jesus: "Love one another as I have loved you."
We believe that we share the vision of Jesus within an atmosphere designed to celebrate and practice the love of God and neighbor. We motivate students to grow academically, culturally, and socially. Jesus remains with the community He formed, and we are privileged to witness and share that Presence.
There is no better investment in the world than the local Catholic parish. It is where people meet Jesus and lives are changed. We are called in faith to be good stewards, and there are many ways to do that. Stewardship is simply recognizing that everything we have and everything we are is a gift from God, and being grateful and generous with those gifts weather they be in time, talent or treasure. When a steward loves God above all, God provides the grace for the steward to love to an even greater depth.
At St. Columbkille, we believe that stewardship and giving should be well thought out and easy to do. Please visit our "Giving" tab for more information, or click one of the buttons bellow to explore how to contribute to our great legacy.
PLEASE COMPLETE THE FACILITIES USE SURVEY!
We need your input! Please take a few moments to complete our online parish facilities survey, which will help us assess how we currently use our spaces and plan for future growth. Paper copies of the survey are available at the welcome desk or you can access the survey by visiting our parish website or directly at the following link with QR Code: https://forms.office.com/r/RzH06EPMex
The Survey will help us to move forward with a new campus plan that allows more people to encounter the truth, goodness and beauty of Jesus Christ by adding:
• New ministry spaces for adult small groups to learn, pray, and share the Gospel of Jesus
• New spaces for children, teenagers and young adults to gather, pray and grow in faith
• A new perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapel where Jesus Christ is praised and adored
• A newly renovated church sanctuary that moves the heart and soul to encounter Jesus
In addition to the exciting several critical capital improvements need to be addressed, including:
• New energy-efficient boilers for both the school and church
• ADA-accessible restrooms in the church
• ADA-accessible meeting spaces, preferably connected to the church
• Updated parish offices with separate living quarters for our priests
• Necessary updates to the church sanctuary, offices, rectory, and school
Your feedback will be invaluable in shaping a plan that ensures our facilities align with the needs and mission of our growing community. If you prefer a hard copy of the survey, you can pick one up at the welcome desk after Mass or visit our parish office. We kindly ask that all surveys be completed by Monday, March 31st.
Thank you in advance for your time, thoughtful insights, and commitment to this process. I entrust this endeavor to the wisdom and guidance of our Blessed Mother Mary, who at the Wedding Feast of Cana confidently instructed us to follow her Son, saying, “Do whatever he tells you.” (John 3:5) May we always remember that the Lord Jesus is with us—always!
