St. Columbkille Parish School

OUR SCHOOL

St. Columbkille School is a faith-based community committed to providing Catholic faith formation and Catholic religious education as the purpose and focal point of our school. We call our students to service our community through our Catholic values. We work collaboratively to foster student growth academically, spiritually, and socially.

Your gift today benefits every student by providing opportunities to enhance academic programming, extra-curricular activities, and strong Catholic teaching.

“St. Columbkille prepared me for high school. It built a foundation for me to excel in athletics, the classroom, and in my faith. Thank you St. Columbkille!”  

- Jonathan Effertz, St. Ignatius High School graduate and current student at Ave Maria University (Ave Maria, FL)

OUR GOAL

Today, as we celebrate #weGiveCatholic, we are especially grateful for our alumni, parents, parishioners, and friends who continue to support the mission of St. Columbkille School. Because of you, students are able to experience a Catholic education that prepares them to emulate values lived by our Saints.

Our goal this year is to raise $30,000 to benefit every St. Columbkille student!

WHO WE ARE

St. Columbkille Parish School strives to integrate religious truths and values with knowledge and skills in order to provide a quality education for all students. Among the values prized in our Catholic School are self-worth, self discipline in the search for a moral way of life, and appreciation for our American heritage. With deep concern for their brothers and sisters, young people in Catholic Schools may be guided to form their personal response in truth, peace, justice and love.
