New Kneelers at the Blessed Mother Altar in the upper church

06-23-2019Pastor's LetterRev. Richard W. Fitzgerald, V. F.

You may have noticed the new kneelers at the Blessed Mother Altar in the upper church. They actually are not new but rather old beautifully crafted kneelers that have now been restored and refinished. There is also one near the large crucifix on the wall near the San Donato statue in the right wing of the church. The cost of the restoration has been donated in memory of Carmen and Donna Cence by the Cence family. Carmen and Donna were long time devoted parishioners at Saint Columbkille Parish. We are grateful to their family for this gift.

During the summer months please do not forget to contribute to the financial support of the parish. You may have noticed in the bulletin that our offertory collection over the past several weeks has been significantly lower than our weekly target of $7,000.00.. While in the summer our utility costs may be lower than in the winter, our ground and lawn maintenance costs are significantly higher. We need the help of all parishioners in order to keep up with the cost of running the parish.

Alert!

Alert!!!!!! Some parishioners have received text messages purported to be from me, Fr. Richard W. Fitzgerald, asking for purchase of “Google cards” for my use. It is a scam, and not a message from me. Do not respond if you get such a message.

Congratulations Deacon Matt

Deacon Matt was ordained a Transitional Deacon on Saturday morning at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. We congratulate him and wish him well as he continues his seminary field assignment at St. Col's this summer and on the weekends during the upcoming academic year. Deacon Matt will serve as Deacon with us for the first time on Sunday at the 5:00pm Mass.
