Fathers' Group
St. Columba’s Fathers’ Group offers men with children at home and recent empty-nesters a community where we learn how to use God’s tools to build and develop our lives as fathers and leaders of young people. Through both formal and informal programs, projects and conversation we will look for a deeper and more spiritual fatherhood through Christ. Join us on the first Sunday of the month, 8-10 pm at The Avenue (5540 Connecticut Avenue, NW).
Senior Associate Rector Joshua started at St. Columba’s in March 2020. He has failed at many things in his life. He strove to make honor-roll in middle school; yet never quite made it. In high school he reached above his station and signed up for honors English; however he was soon asked (“strongly requested”) to drop out by the teacher of that class. Later in college he was fired from a part-time job at a fancy Italian restaurant in St. Louis, MO (mostly he thinks for not understanding the je ne sais quoi of “Red Wine”). He somehow stumbled into a 12 year doom-loop of full-time graduate school studies – which he finally escaped at the age of 35. During that time he applied for a fancy grant from the Episcopal Church Foundation which he did not win. His first calling as a priest in Arkansas ended in total disaster. By the grace of God he has found a wonderful community at St. Columba’s. A spirit-filled place where all are welcome. He loves to meet new and familiar faces from around the parish and neighborhood and hear their own journeys of faith.Charles Molluzzo
