St Columba's is a Roman Catholic Parish church in Newton, Chester.
It is situated on the corner of Plas Newton Lane and Newhall Road in the suburbs, north of the city centre.
The 'Taking Stock' project, a partnership between the Patrimony Committee of the Bishops’ Conference, English Heritage and individual catholic dioceses, described the church as 'a strikingly modern church in a distinctive style'.
[2] In the late 1950s, a priest from St Werburgh's Church in Chester, Canon Francis Murphy, came to Newton and started raising funds to build a new church for the local Catholic population.
On 19 February 1966, the church was officially opened by William Grasar, Roman Catholic Bishop of Shrewsbury.
