The Ladies Auxiliary's main function is to SUPPORT the

help at events, cooking for events and providing monetary
help. They also generally do help with setting up and
beautifying the hall for events.
Squires
Under the guidance of Christian Brother Barnabas McDonald
(1865-1929), the first Columbian Squires circle was
instituted in 1925. Membership in the Squires is for
Catholic boys between the ages of 12 and 17. Squires'
activities are many, varying from spiritual to active
service for the Church and community. Each circle elects
officer members from their own rank, teaching skills of
leadership and responsibility.
