Support
We’re Here To Support You!
If you are facing job loss, fear for your safety, trouble accessing care, or any other consequence of our uncertain times, please contact any member of the clergy or staff and/or email the team at pastoral@columba.org with news or updates on your situation. A request for prayers will not result in your name being automatically added to the spoken Sunday prayers unless you would like it to appear there.
