Together we are striving to become the kind of church that is described in the Bible. We are a Roman Catholic Parish with relevant teaching, heart-felt worship, honest friendships, constant prayer, and compassionate care for those in need. In short we would like to have the kind of contagious Christianity that will influence and encourage the entire community, one life at a time.

 So whether you are a spiritual seeker who is starting to ask questions about God, or a committed Christian who wants to sink the roots of your faith even deeper, you can find a home here at Saint Columba-Brigid Church.You will find this is a place where you really matter!

Fr. Roy Herberger, Pastor

                        SACRAMENTS

Baptism:  For Catholics, the Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults, Baptism is the Church's way of celebrating and enacting the embrace of God. Before any child receives this sacrament, parents and godparents are required to attend a pre-baptismal class. Please contact: Carmen R. Rivera at 847-1463

Confirmation/First Communion:  The First Communion (First Holy Communion)  is a person's first reception of the sacrament of the Eucharist. For a Roman Catholics this event is very important, as the Eucharist is one of the central focuses of the Roman Catholic Church. Preparation for this sacrament, as well as Confirmation, occurs yearly. If you have any questions please contact: Margaret McGrath at 310-0840

Weddings: The Roman Catholic wedding is rich in tradition and liturgy. Since a wedding is primarily a worship service, worship and praise of God who calls a man and a woman together in marriage, great care should go into planning the ceremony itself. The Church offers this sacred opportunity to join with family and friends in dedicating the couple's marriage to God, the author of all love. Engaged couples must attend a pre-nuptial instruction class. Please make an appointment with the Pastor at least six months before the desired wedding date.

Illness, Hospital Stays, Homebound: Parishioners are requested to notify our Church office immediately. Because of privacy regulations, health institutions no longer notify parish communities. Please allow us to minister to you and your family’s needs in these times when you might feel alone or overwhelmed.

Anointing of the Sick: The Catholic sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, formerly known as Last Rites or Extreme Unction, is a ritual of healing appropriate not only for physical but also for mental and spiritual sickness. To arrange for this sacrament, please call Father Roy at 852-2076.
