“"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."”

In early April, Rector Ledlie Laughlin shared news of plans and projects underway, and the formation of six different task forces to guide them. Today we invite you to join that effort by sharing your thoughts in a parish-wide survey in the areas of worship, education, stewardship and communication. The vestry seeks to learn more about the feelings, experience, and ideas of all St. Columbans, and asks you to take this survey and let us know how you feel.
