St. Columbkille Church
About
St. Columbkille Parish is a Roman Catholic parish in Brighton offering regular Mass, confession and adoration along with a busy calendar of community programs. Weekly offerings include confirmation preparation, the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults for those exploring the faith, and Bible study. The parish’s St. Vincent de Paul Society meets twice a month and welcomes new members, and a Catholic Daughters of America chapter gathers at the Presentation School Foundation Community Center.
The parish puts particular energy into young adults, who make up a large share of Brighton’s population. Its Young Adult Commission, founded in fall 2013, helps Catholics ages 18 to 35 live an integrated faith life through Adoration, Theology on Tap, Stations of the Cross and Advent reflections, as well as volleyball, hikes, potlucks and volunteer events. Young adults also serve as lectors, acolytes, Eucharistic ministers, ushers and choir members at the Sunday evening Mass.
