Sunday, November 13, 2011

Sunday, January 22, 2012
Presented by The Very Rev. Gray Lesesne and Brendan O’Sullivan-Hale

SESSION 12: THE HISTORY OF ALL SAINTS
Sunday, February 12, 2012
Presented by Fr. Gordon Chastain
We are celebrating the 100th anniversary of our building this year and soon our 150th anniversary as a parish. Our history is checkered, cheeky, and often amusing. Knowing who we are helps us to understand why we do what we do and what we can be in the world in this new century.
