Community Connections
Who We Are
In the spirit of giving back to our community, our mission is to help those in need and to help those whose mission is to enhance the lives of others. In doing so, we share some of our blessings to help bless others.
This Committee prayerfully stewards the Sunday offertory of our Parishioners. Our Committee will allocate the tithe of our Parish prudently, looking for those opportunities that will have the greatest and longest lasting benefit. By acting as grateful and generous givers, we have become excited about what God can accomplish through us.
How We Minister
St. Columba Church Community Connection Committee serves the needs of our Columbia & Andover Parishioners and Residents. We provide monetary & food donations to the Food Pantries in both towns along with monetary donations to their Fuel Assistance Funds, and Back-to-School donations of backpack & Walmart gift cards to our students in need. Our Annual "Socktober" Campaign in October collects new socks that are donated to local area Homeless Shelters & HFHS, Christmas Wreath Gifts collects new toys & gifts donated to the children residing at the Holy Family Home & Shelter for Christmas, and our Easter Holiday Meals Ted's gift card donations help provide food to families in need in both towns.
Join Us!
We are open to all members of the Parish Community.
