St. Columba is reopening on Saturday, February 5 for the 4:00pm mass.
Guidelines:
Masks to be worn at all times (N95 preferred, no cloth mask)
All attendees must be fully vaccinated and boosted
Maintain social distancing, especially at Communion time
No contact during the Sign of Peace
No singing except for the choir/cantor
First, let us welcome you and let you know how happy we are that you are here - All are welcome whatever your background!
Every Catholic Church is slightly different and takes on the feeling and norms of its participants. Here at St. Columba, this is no different. At a minimum, you should feel safe and welcomed. Please know it is our intent to be inclusive, authentic, and loving.
Saint Columba Catholic Church is a community whose vision focuses on African American spirituality. This simply means that the community worships and serves God by means of African American traditions.
We sing a lot, and African-American spirituals are a consistent part of our repertoire. Our phrases include "let the church say"and "we know who and whose we are". The saints on our wall, the Cross above us, and the symbols on our door reflect our African-American identity.
However, you will not be lost coming from other Roman Catholic churches no matter their particular background. The liturgy and its celebration are consistent and familiar to anyone who has been to a Catholic Mass. To anyone who hasn't, you don't know the difference but we hope it's beyond your expectations.
