Sister Columba MacNeil CND

I fondly remember Sister Saint Columba as if it was yesterday.She taught my 3rd grade class at St Alphonsus school in 1955 in the Goose Village, as well as my 7th grade class at St. Ann's Girl's School in Griffintown in 1959.
She was kind,understanding,fair but very strict and firm.She was a dedicated teacher that held the respect of all her students.
May she rest in peace! God bless her and keep her!Gone but not forgotten.

SR.ST.COLUMBA was my 3rd grade teacher at ST.Alphonsus in the Goose Village in
1958 when i came from Italy. Thank you Sister St. Columba.

Sr. Saint Columba of Iona was my 3rd grade teacher at St. Alphonsus school in the Goose Village/Victoriatown section of Montreal. She was later a teacher/principal at St. Ann's school in Griffintown. I always remember her for her flaming red hair and strict disciplinary ways. She was a very dedicated teacher and loved her students. The world needs more teachers like her.

I remember Mother St. Columba as my teacher in grade 3 in St. Alphonsus School, Goose Village, she was one of my favourite & special teachers.Many years have passed & I still follow many of the rules & lessons she instilled in us rest in peace with God

To the sisters of the Congregation of Notre-Dame
Mother St. Columba was my principal at St. Ann's School. I also had the pleasure of knowing her sister, Mother St. Joseph....what fine, outstanding members of the congregation they were....truly an inspiration to all the students. Many fond memories.
