Father Paul R. Fisher, Pastor
In our own country, Catholic schools on every level have always provided an education in the arts and sciences that have produced and formed many of our nation's leaders, both Catholic and non-Catholic.
For over 50 years Saint Columba School has been proud in continuing that centuries old tradition in the Bloomsburg area.
In choosing our parish school parents provide for their children an opportunity to learn both the mysteries of the Catholic faith, the wonders of the world around them, and the marvels of human history in an atmosphere filled with the values of the Gospel.
