CONTEMPLATIVE

CHRISTIANITY

in the Heart of West Marin

WELCOMING YOU TO
ST. COLUMBA'S INVERNESS

We are an inclusive contemplative community incarnating the

Mystical Body of Christ in Word, Sacrament, and spiritual intimacy.

"A spiritual truth to which our culture and society have so successfully numbed us is that the contemplative life is not a luxury or a quaint pastime but a matter of grave spiritual, social, and now even planetary urgency. Contemplatives know this intuitively. The prayer of silence that confronts the tyranny of the false self and opens us to the transforming power of the Spirit is a moral imperative."

~Fr. Vincent Pizzuto, Contemplating Christ, 90.
