A Thank You To Our Choirs
|
|
A special thanks to our choirs! The St. Columba Choir and the St. Columba Choristers add much to our worship each week, and we want to extend to each member a special thanks for their generous commitment of time and talent! The choirs will take a short break following our celebration of St. Columba's Day in June, and they resume singing in mid-August as we celebrate the Feast of St. Mary the Virgin.

New Scheduling Software
If you serve in any of the Sunday morning ministries (Altar Guild, Acolytes, Lector, Usher, Greeter, etc) then you will soon receive an email from your ministry coordinator about the new platform for a combined and coordinated scheduling system we will begin using in September. So be on the look out for an email during July about "Ministry Scheduler." If you have any questions or want to know more about the transition, speak with Father Tripp.
