Incarnation Columbiettes Auxiliary 8612
As Columbiettes, we are a group of Catholic Women who attend Mass regularly. Many of our members are ushers, lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, and ministers to the sick, in Nursing Homes, Hospitals, and homebound.
Several members work in the Church offices. Once a year we write letters to the Parish children who are First Communicants. We work volunteer in Faith Formation and our older youth group. Some of our members wear many hats by being members of our Incarnation Council of Catholic Women, Stewardship committee, and other Parish committees. Once a month we serve coffee and doughnuts after the Sunday masses and twice a year we prepare a Fellowship Breakfast and serve parishioners after the Sunday masses. We join the other organizations and ministries and help with our four day Parish Carnival. We hold fashion shows, dances, bake sales, raffles, food auctions, and many other activities.
Some of our Community involvements consist of volunteering in our local hospitals, driving seniors to church, to doctors, and shopping. We are blood donors, and participate in the Pro Life Walk and Cancer walks. We all support our national charity by holding fund-raisers for abused women and children. We collect food for Thanksgiving, and donate baby gifts at Christmas to needy families.
Our Auxiliary supports our Knights of Columbus Council in their many activities such as Dinner Dances, Corporate Communions, and fund-raising events. We are always ready to assist our brother Knights whenever we are needed. We help prepare and attend an annual memorial service for our deceased sister Columbiettes and brother Knights.
As you can see the Columbiettes are involved in many facets of our Church and Community. Our auxiliary may not have the largest number of members in comparison to other women’s organizations, but the quality and magnitude of our service to Church, Community and Families is in the gift of our time and talents. Our Auxiliary ladies have a strong relationship in unity, motivation and faith in God.
We meet every 2nd Thursday of the month at 7:30 p.m. in the St. Patrick room in Incarnation Church.
