Fr. Columba is the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) pick for the 2019 Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities – the lecture is “the highest honor the federal government bestows for distinguished intellectual achievement in the humanities.”
Fr. Columba will be interviewed by Fred de Sam Lazaro, director of the Under-Told Stories Project at the University of St. Thomas and contributor to PBS NewsHour. A wine and cheese reception will follow.
