The Rt. Rev. Sergio Carranza-Gomez, former Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Mexico, will visit Saint Luke’s on Sunday, September 7. He will dedicate the Evelyn Hoel Memorial Reredos, given by Martha Scott in memory of Evelyn Hoel, and bless the new vestments given by the Buckholtz Family in memory of Audrey Buckholtz at a combined single Service at 10:00.  He will also confirm and receive those who wish these sacraments. The Pearson's will act as Hosts.

 

Rev. Sergio Carranza-Gomez, former Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Mexico, has served since 2003 as Bishop Assistant of the Diocese of Los Angeles. A graduate of Virginia Theological Seminary, Bishop Carranza shares with Bishop Diocesan J. Jon Bruno, Bishop Suffragan Chester Talton, and Bishop Assistant Robert Anderson in the rota of visits to the parishes and missions of the diocese, and takes an active part in pastoral and administrative duties.  Bishop Carranza was ordained Bishop of the Diocese of Mexico after serving 16 years as rector of St. George's Church (la Parroquia de San Jorge) in Mexico City. He was previously vicar of Holy Family Church (La Sagrada Familia) in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, and rector of St. Andrew's Seminary (Seminario de San Andres) from 1970 to 1973. He was a professor at the Seminary for 17 years. During his episcopate, Bishop Carranza has been a respected member of the U. S. House of Bishops and the Mexican College of Bishops, and a key participant in the 1998 Lambeth Conference. He holds an honorary doctorate from the Virginia Theological Seminary.

Even without our beloved St. Luke's Choir this summer, we have had some extraordinary music at the 9:00 services.  As in the past, we have volunteers performing solos and in small groups.  This summer we have been fortunate to add more instrumentalists to our roster of parish performers.  Lester Eisel's clarinet descant to Betsy Kardos’ solo was gorgeous, and Carolyn and Juliana Jackson gave us a magnificent musical service.  And yes, you will be hearing more from all of these people in the future.  Some of your favorite singers will be with us in August, and you may be assured that the St. Luke's Choir will be ready for the Bishop’s visit on September 7.

Director of Music
