A Worshipping community Since 1859. 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."

Lay Pastoral Ministry Program: Is God calling you to something new? Learn how theological studies and spiritual formation can enrich your life and help you become a more effective witness to your Catholic faith. The Archdiocesan sponsored lay formation program fits into a busy adult schedule with Saturday and evening classes. Locations in Cincinnati and Monroe. Classes are forming now for fall quarter. Call 513-231-1200 for more information.

Sacrament of Confirmation for Adults - Are you an adult who desires to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation but are unsure who to go to, what to do about it or how to make it happen?  To respond to this need, there will be a series of gatherings to prepare participants to become confirmed.  To register, or for more information, please contact Scott at 683-0105 x 2116.

St. Columban School - Plan Ahead! The School Liturgies Schedule for 2011-2012 is now available!

Kroger Gift Card update! Please help us protect money for our school.  The Kroger gift card program has been generating over $20,000 annually to St. Columban’s PTO.  Effective May 1, 2012, and every May 1st thereafter, participants in the program must enroll in the new program for us to continue earning funds.  We will no longer receive 4% from Kroger gift card reloads, meaning we are in jeopardy of losing this funding source.  Kroger will now “reward” non-profit organizations through registration and use of the Kroger Plus Card and allocate a percentage of $1,250,000 on a quarterly basis to all participating organizations in the Cincinnati/Dayton areas based on their percentage of spending using the Kroger Plus Card.  

PTO is asking families to register their Plus Cards through the Kroger Community Rewards website. No more gift card re-loading at the register. Just register your Plus Card or phone number on the website and use it like you normally do at Kroger. Once registered, your expenditures will automatically be credited to St. Columban.  Click here to register and for step by step instructions, please click here.  St. Columban's code is 80095.  Contact Laurie with questions.
