St. Columba School
Thanks!
Happy Easter from St. Columba School! I want to thank
Fr. Mario and all our friends in the parish for your
continuing support. With your help, Springfest raised
over $15,000 for the school. We especially appreciate
all the assistance the Men’s Club and the Knights of
Columbaus give for the benefit of our school children.
May your Easter be truly blessed.
Tuition Assistance Fund
There are new yellow envelopes in the pews
designated as St. Columba School Support. All
donations will go into a tuition assistance fund to help
families provide a Catholic education for the children.
Your help will allow more students to benefit from “the
gift that lasts a lifetime”. Thank you in advance for your
support of this worthwhile program.
2011-2012 Enrollment has Begun!
If you or someone you know is interested in finding out
about the good news in education, tell them about St.
Columba School where our goal is to “teach hearts,
minds and souls.” Contact the school office at 858-279-
1882 for more information or to arrange a tour.
