St Gregory's is in the process of selecting a new Priest-in-Charge.  During the interum, supply priests will be available for Sunday services.
 

Allan Duane, Assistant to the Priest-in Charge
Allan left Cal at Berkeley in late 50's to do PhD research on John Keats. Went to Rome, stayed five years, met Marie Lundy there and and they're still together after 45 years and two grown children. Wrote novels, short stories and too many articles to count, but poetry has remained his first love. After years of travel, teaching, writing and roaming, they settled in to gardens, home and a great church, St. Gregory's. The endless approaches to meditation fascinate him; Christianity and its crazy quilt history absorbs him; his family nourishes him, and St. Gregory's draws him on. It has been, still is, and always will be a great life.  He wouldn't change a day of it.

Jane Barsumian, organist
Jane was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, into a musical family. Her father was a concert violinist, composer and conductor and her mother, a church organist who retired recently after seventy five years on the bench! While Jane received a masters degree in education in the field of counseling, all of her musical training is in the form of private study which, along with most of her college education, she managed to accomplish while raising three children and moving thirteen times in twenty years as the wife of an IBM-er!
