Letter from the Principal

 

Greetings to all! Thank you for visiting our website.  St. Columbkille School has been part of the South Los Angeles community for many years. We take great pride in providing a quality Catholic education for our students.  We have been called an oasis in the community (hence the title of our newsletter) because we strive to offer a Christ-like atmosphere full of peace and mutual respect.  We are located in the inner city of Los Angeles so our struggles are also great.  This is why a school like St. Columbkille is greatly needed and appreciated by the community.  In order to provide a quality education resources are needed.  With the help of alumni, parishioners, friends of St. Columbkille and individuals like you we can continue to educate God’s children through the Gospel values.  For more information about the school, about our Sponsor-A-Scholar Program, or other ways to help St. Columbkille please call the office at 323-758-2284 or e-mail me at kbriceno@columbkille.org. 

 

May God continue to bless each of you.

 

Ms. Karla Briceρo
