Parishes

As a joint Anglican and Catholic College, faith is central and integrated in College life. St Columba College is affiliated with a number of Catholic and Anglican parishes and ministries in the northern suburbs.

Anglican programs and Catholic Sacramental programs are available to all students through community parishes. We celebrate in the joy of students preparing and participating in Holy observances.

St Columba College encourages and assists families who would like to be involved in the strengthening of their relationship between family, school and parish. Children, of course, are central to these relationships. Our College is a community within our parishes, with a specific evangelising and educative mission and a shared responsibility for ongoing religious instruction of children and young people.

If your child/ren would like to participate in these programs, the College Chaplains and Directors of Spirituality are available for further information and consultation. Please contact the College on 8254 0600 or email admin@stcolumba.sa.edu.au

"We believe simply that this old and venerable structure of the parish has an indispensable mission of great contemporary importance: to create the basic community of the Christian people; to initiate and gather the people in the accustomed expression of liturgical life; to conserve and renew the faith in the people of today; to serve as the school for teaching the salvific message of Christ; to put solidarity in practice and work the humble charity of good and brotherly works." CHRISTIFIDELES LAICI OF HIS HOLINESS JOHN PAUL II, 1988, no.26 (98)
