A Letter from our New Associate Vicar

Dear Vicar George, and the people of St. Benedict’s:

It is my pleasure and delight to inform you that I am accepting the call to serve your community as a curate. I had a wonderful time with those who represented your mission at the interview and the dinner. I am very impressed with your hospitality, desire to grow, and strong sense of community. I feel blessed to receive this opportunity to build new relationships with you all.

I see great potentials in St. Benedict’s and in the city of Lacey. My heart is ready to start working closely with you to help extend your wonderful hospitality to the wider community.

Thank you again for welcoming my partner, Alan, and me to your congregation. I am looking forward to joining you this summer!

Faithfully, 

Andrew K. Shirota W
