A place for families

The Rev. Amy Molina-Moore

The Rev. Amy Molina-Moore joined the community at St. Columba’s as associate rector for formation and pastoral care in December of 2016. In December 2020, her role has transitioned to Associate Rector for Family Ministry. Prior to her arrival here, she was curate at Christ Church Christiana Hundred in Wilmington, DE where she oversaw pastoral care and parish life. Amy is passionate about connecting people to God, creation and one another.

Amy was an Americorp member based in East Harlem, NYC when she discerned a call to seminary. She began her studies at Princeton Theological Seminary in the fall of 2010. It was during those years that Amy found her home in the Episcopal Church and began to hear the Holy Spirit’s call to the priesthood.

Amy brings a fresh perspective and an inquisitive mind to this ministry. She is committed to listening to the Holy Spirit’s leading and to perfecting the art of play. Amy received her BA with honors from Rutgers University, an M.Ed. from Lesley University, an M.Div from Princeton Theological Seminary and received her Diploma in Anglican Studies from Virginia Theological Seminary.

Katie McGervey

I have been a member of St. Columba’s since 1994. I was married here, served as a volunteer for mission in Southern Africa with my husband (supported by St. Columba’s), and have raised both of my children here. My husband, Joe and I have been involved in many ministries here - working with the Dreamers, going on SCAP, teaching Sunday School and J2A, as ushers and greeters and choir parents. We have two boys, Max is 16 and Oscar is 13. They are both active in the youth program, and sing and ring bells in the choir. I homeschool both of them and volunteer in lots of their activities (Scouts, robotics, diving). I was raised in the Episcopal Church in Lakewood, OH and my grandfather was an Episcopal priest. I’m already learning so much going from parishioner to staff, and look forward to sharing many adventures with you.
