st. columcille united gaelic pipe band
Saint Columcille United Gaelic of Kearny, NJ, draws its name from an Irish prince, warrior and scholar who became a priest to bring early Christianity to the Western Isles of Ireland and Scotland. From the Isle of Iona, Columcille (521-597) helped spread faith, knowledge and culture throughout Europe. It’s an ideal that drove the band’s founder, Sean McGonigal, to form a band dedicated to “unity of the Gael.” Sean expressed his goal in the band’s motto, “Ar aghaidh le ceol na n’Gael," “Onward with the music of the Gael.”

It has now grown to approximately 42 members, along with a number of students. The piping students are now being taught by the one and only Jim Kelly (our former Pipe Major); many of our current pipers were taught by the late Bill Spencer. The snare drummers are taught by John Mollahan, while the tenor drummers are taught by Kathryn Collins.
