Vision 2012 Goal is to deepen parishioners’ spiritual lives, and equip our spiritual gifts for evangelization!
 
This committee promotes opportunities for the spiritual growth and development of parish members. The committee’s functions include: identifying the spiritual growth needs of all parish members; providing opportunities for spiritual growth through retreats, days of renewal, small group study, and prayer groups; and evaluating spiritual growth programs available in the Archdiocese to determine potential for renewal at St. Columbkille Parish.
