Lectors proclaim the Word of God at our liturgies. Effective lectors should understand, feel, and project the mood and message of the passage. Join us if you feel called to be a proclaimer of God's Word!

One of the newest ministries in our parish is the Prayer Team Ministry. Prayer Teams are groups of two or three people who volunteer to pray for anyone who requests it after Mass on Saturday and Sunday or any other time. The prayer is quiet, personal and confidential. The team members are fellow parishioners who have been specifically trained for this outreach.

As we grow, the need for volunteers grows and additional training sessions will be provided. Due to the delicacy of this ministry, the following are requirements: an active prayer life, a willingness to pray with others, love and faithfulness for Christ and His Church, and the ability to keep confidentiality. Volunteers are scheduled with a partner for two Saturdays a month (two teams at each Mass). If the Holy Spirit is calling you to serve in this way, or for further information, please call Sue for brochures and additional information.
So become a prayer warrior for the Lord!!!

Parish Prayer Group
Each Wednesday at 7:15 p.m. we gather to pray for the needs of our parish and the evangelization of our world. Utilizing the gifts of the Holy Spirit we praise our Lord, Jesus. Teachings for growth in our Christian walk are given. Everyone is invited to attend these meetings.
Sue Techman is also the contact person for our Prayer Group.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the program whereby interested adults take an in-depth look at the Catholic Church and decide to become fully initiated into our Catholic Faith by receiving the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation. 

This program begins in October and concludes after Easter. The RCIA Team works closely in presenting this program.  If you want to be on a team that welcomes people into our Roman Catholic Faith...THIS TEAM IS FOR YOU!  

Contact Margaret Chovanes at 610-845-2600 to join this awesome team! Or email Margaret at:margaretc@stcolumbkill.org

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Children (RCIC) is the program whereby children who were not baptized at birth receive instructions appropriate for Baptism. Children who have not received sacraments appropriate for their age groups are instructed in sacraments. Once the children have passed through this program they continue on with their regular Religious Education Classes.

The Shawl Ministry was started by Janet Bristow and Victoria Galo in 1997. The shawls are knitted by church members and given to someone in need of comfort and prayers. As the shawl is made, prayers are said for the recipient. We meet the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 9:30 a.m. in Quinn Hall. (on hold)
