Who We Are
The ministers of St. Mary’s are all of the people
By virtue of baptism, all are called into ministry in the church and in their daily lives and work. The clergy, vestry, staff, and lay leadership enjoy working together to help all people grow and deepen their relationship with God in Christ Jesus.
Clergy
The clergy, also known as priests or pastors, help proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, through their words and actions. They delight in serving the people with whom they work, and in caring for young and old, strong and weak, rich and poor. Their work includes proclaiming God’s love through preaching, teaching, sharing the Sacraments, representing the Church in the wider community, and various other ministries entrusted to them.
Staff
The staff are essential to carrying out our many ministries.
