The Columbiettes are women members of the Auxiliary affiliated with its Knights of Columbus Council. In 1939, Monsignor J. Francis McIntyre, Chaplain of the New York Chapter Knights of Columbus, later a cardinal, suggested formation of the group. He conceived the idea of a ladies organization to work with the Knights of Columbus. This ministry supports the needs of our chapter, Resurrection Knights of Columbus, Resurrection Catholic Church, and St. Anthony’s food pantry. They also assist with the parish’s annual youth retreat.
