A Warm Welcome to This Sunday's Presiding Priest

The Rev. John Bancroft - Born and raised in Houston, Texas. I entered VA Theological Seminary following a four-year stint in the army. My first of 3 cures was as a vicar at Christ Church, Mexia and St. Matthias, Waco, both of Texas, serving 10 years there. I was called to St. Mary's in Reading PA in 1988 and served for 12 years until called to St. Joseph's in McDonough, Ga where I served until retiring in 2012. The astute might notice that, I started at Christ Church and then St. Mary's and then St Josephs. It might seem I moved away from Christ as my career progressed. I am married for 42 years to a wonderful wife, Mary and am blessed with two great sons and three grandchildren. All in all, I have found the ministry a wonderful adventure.

Trinity and beyond

Offices are CLOSED Thursday and Friday (11/27 & 11/28)!
