Hello! My name is Chris Zgrabik and I am the Youth Director here at St. Columbkille Parish. I have been a parishioner here for over 20 years and all three of my children have attended the parish grade school. I graduated from Ohio State University and hold certificates from Cleveland State University as well as the Diocese of Cleveland.
I currently teach Theology at Padua Franciscan High School and I am also the President of Global Village Academy in Parma, Ohio. When not doing youth or teaching related things I like to fish, run or hang out with family and friends.
With all of that, my favorite part of youth ministry is getting to know the youth more deeply and watching them grow in their relationships with each other, the Church and God. The lifelong friendships that these teens develop is really a neat thing to witness.

Our school mission is to develop our students to live their lives as a Witness to Jesus. We believe our school exists to teach the mandate of Jesus: "Love one another as I have loved you."
We believe that we share the vision of Jesus within an atmosphere designed to celebrate and practice the love of God and neighbor. We motivate students to grow academically, culturally, and socially. Jesus remains with the community He formed, and we are privileged to witness and share that Presence.
