First, let us welcome you and let you know how happy we are that you are here - All are welcome whatever your background!
Every Catholic Church is slightly different and takes on the feeling and norms of its participants. Here at St. Columba it is the same.
At a minimum, you should feel safe and welcomed. Please know our intent is to be inclusive, authentic, and loving for everone.
FAQS >ABOUT ST. COLUMBA >JOIN OUR PARISH >We sing a lot, and African-American spirituals are a consistent part of our repertoire. Our phrases include "let the church say" and "we know who and whose we are". The saints on our wall, the Cross above us, and the symbols on our door reflect our African-American identity.
However, you will not be lost coming from other Roman Catholic churches no matter their particular background. The liturgy and its celebration are consistent and familiar to anyone who has been to a Catholic Mass. To anyone who hasn't, you don't know the difference but we hope it's beyond your expectations.

Mask Wearing Guidelines
The caveat is that the State of California, County of Alameda, UCSF, and other health entities ask that we consider wearing masks in crowded indoor public places, especially those people who are vulnerable.
We welcome all back into the church so that we may commune together in body and spirit.
