The Gift of Generosity

We thank everyone who has supported St. Columba this
past year with their time, talent, and financial contributions and look forward to your continued support in the
year ahead. If you need a convenient way to make regular offerings or if you plan to make an additional gift before the end of the year, we encourage you to look into
our electronic giving options. As the pace of life speeds
up, especially around the holidays, you may find electronic giving a most welcome way to make contributions.
