About Transfiguration
Transfiguration is a friendly, growing Catholic parish just minutes outside of Columbia. We hope that you will take a few minutes to look around our site and catch a glimpse of what makes our parish family so special!
History
Transfiguration was established in 1998 to minister to the needs of the growing population in northeast Columbia. At first, we celebrated Mass in temporary locations such as the auditorium of Blythewood Academy. In 2004, with the support of about eighty families, we made a leap of faith and built our current sanctuary. Built as a temporary worship space, the Parish Life Center (or "PLC") seats three hundred and will one day serve exclusively for our social events, once our larger, permanent church is built.
A Warm Parish
Because of our small roots, we are a warm, welcoming community. Even though we are on the small side for a Catholic parish (about three hundred registered families), we have a high level of parishioner involvement and we offer a lot of ways for you to get involved and get to know others. Please check out our ministry pages to see some of the activities you may be able to participate in or help with.
A Diverse Parish
Smiling faces from many places make up our congregation with one common desire - to be like Christ. While we currently only offer Mass in English, our members come from all over the globe. At the annual Feast of the Transfiguration, we encourage everyone to bring a favorite dish from their culture to share at our potluck supper - celebrating our unity and our diversity! Our monthly socials, sponsored by the Knights of Columbus, also make getting to know each other much easier.
