St. Columbkille Catholic Parish

Every time we make the "Sign of the Cross" we acknowledge the central mystery of the Christian Faith: God is three Persons in One True God.  This is the foundation for everything else we profess and believe as Catholics.  It is God's very nature to share Himself.  We are created in His image and likeness are called to do the same.  

Heavenly Father send the Holy Spirit upon us with the spriitual gifts of wisdom, understanding, knowledge, understanding good counsel, fortitude, piety and fear of the Lord.  Produce in us the spiritual fruits of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self control.  Lord, send us your spirit and renew the face of the earth!

Jesus' ascension into heaven is our commission to Baptize all of the nations as well as prepare for the coming of the Holy Spirit.  Open my heart, Lord, to receive the Holy Spirit.  Each day, may we receive the grace to open our hearts anew to all of the gifts of the Spirit of the Living God!  

Thank Your mother for giving you Love & Life!  What are you doing to thank her?  The Blessed Virgin Mary is the patronness of Mother's Day!  She calls us to prayer around her Son, Jesus!  Just as she appeared to the children at Fatima, she calls us to pray the Most Rosary today.  Pray for your mother!

Jesus tells us, "I am the Vine, you are the branches... Remain in Me."  This connectedness to Jesus is best seen in the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  All of the characteristics of compassion, faithfulness and love are seen in her through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.  Still the Lord want us give us more than virtue, more than being conected to each other, He longs to give us Eternal Life with Our Father in complete unity!!

During the month of May, we take special care to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary.  She is the surest and quickest way deep into the heart of Jesus!  You are called to pray the Most Holy Rosary as a family.  You are invited to pray our new Rosary Walk in front of our school.  Jesus loves His Mother so much that He grants special graces to all who love her as well.
