Our StaffHow beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace,who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”–Isaiah 52:7 (NIV)The Calvary community has been blessed to have a talented and dedicatedclergy, staff and volunteers who have ministered to the spiritual needs of ourparish, maintained our church building, grounds and parish house, andmanaged the daily, smooth functioning of Calvary’s operations.Our parish traditionally employs three full-time clergy: a rector, an associate,and a curate; Calvary is actively searching for a new curate. The work of ourfull-time clergy has been supplemented by assisting priests on an as-neededbasis and by a paid summer intern through The Rev. Arthur F. McNulty, Jr.Memorial Internship. The Rev. Leslie G. Reimer, a beloved part of the Calvaryfamily for many years, has temporarily stepped away from her role as associaterector to serve as Calvary’s interim rector during this search.Paid staff includes Dr. Alan Lewis, Director of Music, and an assistant organist, a Christian formation coordinator,and a director of the preschool. The parish also employs five administrative staff and five sextons who maintainour facilities, make candles, and staff the building during its frequent extended operating hours.
