COLUMBIETTES EMBLEM:
The Blue Circle represents the World. The White Cross represents Christ’s Love for us. The Rays represent our zeal to serve God. The three stars symbolize the three Theological Virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity
WHO ARE WE?
A unified body of Catholic women working side by side with the Knights of Columbus to make a difference by touching hearts and changing lives.
The Columbiettes are part of a vibrant service organization of Catholic women (age 18 and over) who are dedicated to our Patronesses:Our Blessed Mother Mary, Saint Therese the Little Flower, and Saint Joan of Arc.
We are ordinary ladies who are proud of reaching out and helping those less fortunate.
WHY JOIN?
The benefits of membership are spiritual, moral, charitable, educational, and social. We pray for each other and build lasting friendships and support systems in our lives.
We are a growing service organization who are willing to make a difference in our society. We choose to take a strong stand on issues devastating to human life.
We have deep religious convictions which includes Mass attendance, retreats, blood drives, supporting unwed mothers, helping the needs of the mentally and physically challenged. You do not need to be married or related to a Knight to join.
Columbiettes are usually already active by singing in the choir, serving as Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, Greeters, Ushers, Catechists etc. Our members serve in many other ministries and committees in their parishes.
