| Columbiettes Auxiliary Our Lady of the Rosary Council #9039 Shallottte, N.C. 28459 |
| Our Auxiliary was instituted on February 28, 2009 when l7 new members joined three transfer sisters with a ceremony at St. Brendan the Navigator Church in Shallotte, NC to receive their first and major degrees. Since then our numbers have grown. We have supported the Knights with their LAMB Drive, a Halloween Party for the children, marched with the Knights in the Christmas Parade, and collected socks for their Sock Drive. Our Auxiliary sponsored two Card Parties with the proceeds going to Charities along with adopting a family for Christmas. We celebrated our first Anniversary by attending 8AM Mass together followed by breakfast at Tamers Restaurant in Ocean Ridge. |
| The Columbiettes were founded in 1939 by Monsignor J. Francis McIntyre, as a ladies' organization to work with the Knights of Columbus. On March 2, 1939 the first Columbiettes were instituted in New York City. |

| OFFICERS |
The Columbiettes are formed with the approval of the Knights of
Columbus Council with which it is affiliated. We stand ready at all times to
assist them when needed.
The Columbiettes are ordinary ladies who are proud of reaching out and
helping those less fortunate by meeting the needs of the people in their
communities and around the world.
The Columbiettes are a growing and vibrant service organization of
Catholic ladies who are willing to make a difference in today’s society.
We boldly choose to take a strong stand on issues that are devastating to
human life.
By conducting a variety of programs we are bringing Columbiettes
together as they can strengthen their bond of friendship within the
Organization. The benefits from membership are many – spiritual, moral,
educational and social.
As a Columbiette you can allocate your time as your daily schedule
permits. To maximize your enjoyment and personal contributions, there
are no specific requirements or amount of time to spend within the
Organization. Everyone in the Organization participates at whatever
level of commitment that makes her comfortable.
With your time, special skills or talent we offer you the opportunity to give
back something to your Community as well as your Parish.
