“For me, St. Columba's and faith are inextricably linked. I know whatever life serves up, God will provide for me and my family through the community here.”
“"I walked into a room of complete strangers on Wednesday morning and was completely welcomed with warm, loving smiles from a diverse group of mothers."”
“"St. Columba’s Rebuilding Together ministry worked on a beautiful old house in the Gallaudet neighborhood of DC. It was owned by an absolutely amazing couple, loved by many in this city."”

The Outreach Ministry Appeal kicked off this spring with the goal to raise enough funds to close a $50,000 budget gap. Thanks to your generosity and broad participation across the entire parish, we exceeded our goal and raised $51,786. Your contributions will allow us to continue to serve in all the wonderful ways we make God's love concrete through our many outreach ministries. Thank you, St. Columbans for answering our call.
