We Serve our Communities
Working together as an auxiliary we can accomplish more in our communities. As in all things there is strength through unity.
There is a great joy in volunteering and the enthusiasm is contagious!
We volunteer our time with many groups including military, veterans, the homeless, the elderly and homebound, the unborn, and our communities.

We Foster Spirituality
The Columbiettes begin and end all we do with prayer and have something to offer every woman, no matter where they are on their faith journey.
Throughout the year, Columbiettes attend Mass together, adore Our Lord in Adoration, honor Our Blessed Mother during the Marian Pilgrimage, pray for our loved ones, especially those who are away from the Church, and grow in faith together by attending retreats.
Each Columbiette Auxiliary has a variety of unique spiritual offerings tailored to meet the needs of its members.
