EVENTS WITHIN ST COLUMBA’S PARISH
The Month of July is dedicated to
The Precious Blood of Jesus
The feast of the Precious Blood of our Lord was
instituted in 1849 by Pius IX, but the devotion is as
old as Christianity. The early Fathers say that the
Church was born from the pierced side of Christ,
and that the sacraments were brought forth through
His Blood.
‘The Precious Blood which we worship is the Blood
which the Savior shed for us on Calvary and
reassumed at His glorious Resurrection…’
