Under the guidance of Christian Brother Barnabas McDonald (1865-1929), the first
Columbian Squires circle was instituted in 1925. Membership in the Squires is
for Catholic boys between the ages of 12 and 17. Squires' activities are many,
varying from spiritual to active service for the Church and community. Each circle
elects officer members from their own rank, teaching skills of leadership and
responsibility.
