About Us

It is an understatement to say that our parish has grown significantly since the 1850’s 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 the larger church community of which we are a part. 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 found in our worship space, we are unfinished. “There is always more to be done – by a prophet, or a painter, or by a parish.”

About the Site

Since 1998, St. Columban Church has maintained a place of its own on the Internet. In September 2005, after months of hard work, we revamped our website to make it more visually appealing and enable you to more easily find important information about our parish. Our new design reflects a parish community that has grown and changed dramatically in the past few years.
