In-house Pastoral Care
It may not surprise you to know that Saint Columba’s House can link you to confidential spiritual resources such as having someone to listen to your problems, have someone pray with you, arrange a formal confession, and pray for healing for you or a loved one. All residents may use Saint Columba's Chapel and Saint Peter's Oratory for their own quiet time, depending on availability.
