Our Mission Statement:


The Columbiettes are Catholic women who through sisterhood, service, and spirituality, strengthen our faith while meeting the needs of our community and church. We are inclusive, respect life and support our Knights of Columbus.


The Columbiettes are a national organization started in 1939. The Msgr. Desmond Columbiettes Auxiliary was formed in 2003 at St. Jude the Apostle Parish in Lewes. Our patronesses are the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Thérèse of Lisieux, and St. Joan of Arc.
 
 

By fostering spirituality, service and sisterhood, Members:

 

  • Enjoy the challenges and satisfaction of making a difference through our actions and prayers. We ask that each member share their talents by doing what she can when she can to support a variety of projects that are planned by the Auxiliary.
  • Each Auxiliary focuses on what is most important to their local community.
  • Do more for your church, family, and your community.
  • Be a more effective Catholic by actively working toward goals of unity and understanding.
  • Set the example through works of charity, devotion, and promotion of Catholic values.
  • Join others in programs that brighten the lives of the less fortunate - the sick, the handicapped, the elderly and the young.
  • Have fun through social events - make friends and sisters for life.


Any Catholic Ladies wishing to become a member, please email our Vice-President at msgrdesmondvicepresident@gmail.com or leave your name and contact information at the Parish Office.


Members do not need to belong to St. Jude the Apostle Parish, nor do they have to be married to a Knight of Columbus.
