Ten Years after Edmund Rice was beatified and recognized as a Gift to our world we continue to be challenged to address the lives of young people who face exploitation and live at risk.

It was Edmund's faith in the providential care of a Gracious God that moved him to leave the comforts of home and family and embrace the world of the poor boys of his time. In our country the lot of the poor is a major concern. It is only if we grow in our awareness of the many  blessings that God showered on us can we open our hearts to those less fortunate than ourselves.

At St. Columba's we will continue to equip our young men with the values and attitudes to confidently face the challenges of our present world. We will also work towards inculcating in them the desire of
putting something back into our society so that the hardships and misery of our poor people will be greatly alleviated.

In this endeavour we seek the active assistance of all our parents, students, ex-students and well wishers.
