FR. PATRICK RAYMOND

Interim Rector

Rev. Patrick Raymond, our interim rector, is a California native with family roots throughout the Pacific Northwest. He found the Episcopal Church during college in the Midwest and was ordained deacon and priest in the Diocese of Chicago. His prior parish ministries have been in Chicago and environs and in Madison, Wisconsin. He especially appreciates partnering with parishes in transition. Patrick is married to and still growing and learning with Brooke Ward Raymond. Their three grown children live in San Francisco, Chicago and Lisbon, Portugal. A two-year respite from parish ministry prior to coming to Emmanuel was largely spent in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. There, Patrick became slightly more fluent en español and slightly more skilled as a mosaic artist.
