who we are
St. Columba is so much more than a church building. We are a parish family, a true community striving to live out our Catholic faith so passionately that when people see us, they meet Christ.
As a community, we gather at St. Columba to worship God, to learn more about Jesus, and to accompany one another on our journey of faith. Then we use the graces we receive here to go out and do what He told us to do: love and serve others.
Here's what you should know about us:
-
-
-
Jesus is the center of our community.Our foundational belief is that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. From hearing His words and receiving His Body in the Mass to spending quiet time with Him in our Adoration Chapel, everything we do starts and ends with Him.
-
Learning doesn't end at Confirmation.Following what Jesus taught isn't easy. That's why you won't just find our incredible Catholic school and religious education program to teach your kids; you'll also discover opportunities to continue to ask questions and grow your own faith.
-
We share Christ by serving others.We take "do unto others" pretty seriously around here. From our food pantry to our homebound ministry, we believe that the best way to share the joy we've found in Christ is by serving the needs of all in our Hudson Valley community.
-
You'll be welcomed by name.It's pretty hard to be anonymous. You won't be pressured to join anything if you don't want to, but you will get to know the "regulars" who sit near you, who will pray for you in times of need and delight in your little kids' wiggles.

-
-
The main difference though?
We're not just a Sunday church.
You don't have to wait until the weekend to fuel your faith. At St. Columba, you can stop by on a weeknight for numerous Bible studies or a sports event for teens. You can put the Gospel into action by serving food to the hungry or building bunk beds for the homeless. And just try to go to the bagel shop after Mass and NOT see an impromptu
St. Columba gathering.
Sunday is just the start. As an active parish, our worship together in the Mass is what fuels us to go forth and LIVE as Catholics, together.

who you are
Every church says "All are welcome," but it's hard to know if that actually means you too. So here's what we mean:
You're welcome here
...even if your past is kind of messy.
...even if you are facing marital struggles or divorce.
...even if you have a physical disability, mental illness, or addiction.
...even if your little kids are loud or your big kids have fallen away from the faith.
...even if you're struggling to understand and follow everything the Church teaches.
...even if you haven't been to church in years.
Not a perfect person? You'll fit right in. In fact, that's exactly what we're here for, to walk with and help you no matter where you are in your journey.

"St. Columba is a feeling I get. I made more friends here, more than anywhere else on earth. There’s no place like St. Columba. It’s like home." - Marian Pompa

what we do
Our role at St. Columba is to support you in developing your relationship with Jesus and giving you the resources you need to live your faith every day, not just Sundays.
-
-
-
PRAY
We start with prayer. Through the Mass and other worship opportunities, we provide the space for you to encounter God and hear His voice against the busyness of life.
-
LIVE
Next, we share the tools to deepen that relationship via the Sacraments, the foundational milestones of faith that provide the grace to live out Christ's mission of love and service.
-
LEARN
Through events, Bible studies, and faith education for all ages, we strengthen that faith by teaching you more about God, the Bible, and what it means to live as a Christian.
-
SHARE
Finally, we help you live your faith practically, both in faith sharing with your church family and in sharing faith with others through service opportunities.
-
-
-
CONNECT
St. Columba is the connection between all of those aspects. As you connect with us, we connect you to Christ, your parish family, and the greater community.

"The priests are the best part of St. Columba. They are both outstanding. The Church is very welcoming. All of my children attend the school there, and we've met so many families through both the Church and the school. My kids enjoy seeing so many of their friends at Mass on Sundays - we've made many family connections." - Bill Scampoli
