My name is Brian O'Donnell. My wife and I have been parishioners of St. Columbkille's since 2020. We have a son, Henry, and twin girls on the way. You are most likely to see us sitting towards the front at the 4:15 Saturday evening Mass. I teach social studies and coach baseball at Senior High School.
We chose St. Columbkille parish because we could envision our children attending school here and we loved the beautiful church. What sealed the deal was when we got married at St. Columbkille's in 2020.
I have found "Encounter Christ" to be the part of the mission statement that is most life-giving. I experience this most profoundly through the Mass and praying with scripture.
