From Senior Warden Heather Baugh:
“I am pleased to announce on behalf of the 2017 Vestry that we have called The Rev. Dr. Pamela Dolan to be our new Rector. Pamela was elected by the unanimous consensus of your 2017 Vestry, and is well qualified to lead us into a new era at St. Martin’s spiritually. She comes with a keen ability to help us deepen and expand our ministries for social justice, youth and children, and Christian formation, among other things. Though originally from Vacaville, Pamela leaves a rectorate at The Church of the Good Shepherd in St. Louis, Missouri, and will be coming with her two daughters Anabel and Kathleen, her husband John, and their two dogs Abbey and Spike…”
From Rector-elect Pamela:
“…Initially what drew me to St. Martin’s was your obvious passion for social justice, especially around environmental issues, and your wish to go deeper in terms of your connection with God and one another. Then throughout the process and especially during my visit I found so much more, including a strong sense of community, fearless creativity, and an authentic desire to be challenged and transformed. These are tremendous gifts indeed!”

Thanks be to God!
