CONTEMPLATIVE
in the Heart of West Marin
CHRISTIANITY
~Jeremiah 6:16
WELCOMING YOU TO ST. COLUMBA'S INVERNESS
St. Columba's is an Episcopal Church and Retreat House is revitalizing its roots in the contemplative spirituality of the Celtic Christian Tradition. Nestled on a mountainside overlooking Tomales Bay in Inverness, California, our retreat house is infused with the sacred presence of God in nature. We are an inclusive contemplative community incarnating the Mystical Body of Christ in Word, Sacrament, and spiritual intimacy.
"Come to me, all you that are weary and heavy burdened and I will give you rest."
~Matthew 11:28
ABOUT OUR MISSION
We are resuming in-person gathering for Eucharist on Sunday mornings at 10am or you can join our online Morning Prayer at 11am.
ABOUT OUR RETREAT HOUSE
We are currently closed due to Covid-19 restrictions. We pray for your safety and well-being.
ABOUT OUR VICAR
Throughout his ministry here, Father Vincent has brought to our community a contemplative spirit and academic rigor promoting openness and hospitality in the Celtic Christian Tradition.
“In the shadow of your wings I take refuge, until the destruction is past.”
~Psalm 57:1
