From your Living Peace and Social Justice Team:
Catholic Campaign for Human Development Assisting Communities in the Gulf
CCHD is the domestic anti-poverty, social justice program of the U.S. Catholic bishops which addresses root causes of poverty in America. Parishes and community organizations assisting people affected  by the oil spill will receive up to $300,000 from CCHD to help combat the environmental disaster. The grants are specifically designed for programs that provide a voice for the fishermen and the communities affected. Please keep this organization in mind during the annual appeal in November! Thank you.

Martha Ministry - Our annual Martha Ministry schedule will be finalized soon and we would love to add your name to our team of essential volunteers.

Each team cleans ONLY 4 SATURDAYS PER YEAR for approximately 3 hours per clean. Many hands make for light work and we could use YOUR HANDS. Please contact Kelly Lipp.

St. Columban Parish is a Catholic community that follows the Word and Work of Jesus Christ through discipleship, stewardship, and fellowship. It is an understatement to say that our parish has grown significantly since the 1850s, when we were a mission church of St. Andrew in Milford. We have changed, as has the Church universal. Many though we are, we are one body in Christ. We reflect the plurality of our larger church community. Some of us have been here a long time; others have been here a short time. Like the Church throughout the world, we are many but one; like the image of St. Columban in our worship space, we are unfinished. “There is always more to be done – by a prophet, or a painter, or by a parish.”
