The present church at St. Columba’s dates from the early 60s, and takes the place of the one which was part of the present Primary School of St. Columba's. Since it was first built it has had some remodelling, to take into account the changes in the Liturgy since the Second Vatican Council, and a chapel has been built on the side of the church, which is used for Mass during the week, and also for the Children's liturgy during weekend services.
The parish of St. Columba is linked with the nearby parish of Saint Patrick on Barrow Island, and both parishes are served by the Parish Priest, Father Joseph O’Connor. |
