Who Are Columbiettes
We are many of the women you see around you every day. Catholic women who come together to make a difference.
Our Emblem:
Our Columbiette emblem includes a blue circle that represents the world. The rays going out from the cross reflect our desire to serve God through faith, hope and charity. Those three virtues are symbolized by the three white stars underneath the cross
Our Purpose Is To:
