The Rector of St. John’s has been there since 2001 and is a graduate of Nashotah House.
My older sister may have been baptized at St. John’s. In order for her children to be recognized as “legitimate’ by her husband’s church and family, she had to be “married” again in the foyer of a Roman Catholic church (they would not allow them to be married in the Sanctuary). They forced her to give up her baptismal certificate, told her that she was now “Catholic” and no longer Episcopalian, and would never see her baptism certificate again. She still grieves for that.
Thank you. The video of the service can be seen at http://www.YouTube.com/stjohnspriest
the sermon starts mid-part 4
My grandparents attended there with my mother in the 1930’s.
Actually that would have been late 30’s and early 40’s: Walter and Myrtle Friebel.
Cool. They were there when they moved the building back 60 feet in the 1930’s!
