Get involved in one of our many Ministries
Small groups are the backbone of any great Church, and St. Columbkille is no different. Part of practicing our faith is being stewards of the gifts and resources we’ve been given to serve others and carry the message of Christ.
Deep down, we believe that the whole point of our faith & Church, is to help our people get closer to Christ, overcome spiritual sickness in every form, and in turn, help others on the Path to leading lives of love and service. Ministries are how we do this.

Our Groups & Meetings
Iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens another.
-Proberbs 27:17
People need people. In our men’s and women’s groups, we challenge each other to be better…. just better examples of Christians & Catholics. No single pastor or priest is able to minister to thousands, and so our Groups and Meetings serve as the most effective venue for spiritual healing and growth.
If you need help in any area listed to the right, reach out and we will confidentially connect you with someone that can empathize with your situation. Rebirth is possible for anyone. No one is lost forever.

Our Parish. Our Patron. Our History.
Learn more about the rich tradition of St. Columbkille
St. Columbkille – The Man
Saint Columbkille was born in Gartan, County of Donegal in Ireland, on December 7th, 521. He was the son of a chief related to several of the princes then reigning in Ireland & Scotland.
Our Parish History
During Holy Week of 1993, Bishop John Nevins approached Fr. Charles Sullivan concerning the formation of new Catholic community in the Iona section of Ft. Myers..
Our People
St. Columbkille is a Parish filled with amazing people that fully embody the mission of Christ. We want you to meet some of them, so they can inspire you to grow closer to God.
Join Our Parish
Between our 5 weekend services, daily Mass, our 30+ ministries, you have a lot of options with which to get involved here. Join us for Mass and introduce yourself to our Pastor or one of the many volunteers.
Our Faith is bigger than any one of us. It is universal. It is eternal.
The Church is not without fault – as it is managed and overseen by people – fallible people. Our faith, however, is more than a set of rules. It is a mystery which God continues to reveal to us and through us. Our job, and the job of every Parish, is to give people opportunities and wisdom to get one closer to Christ (and being Christ-like).
You’re never perfect… but you can be a saint! Join us on our journey to live in alignment with God’s will!
