Transition at St. Bede's

St. Bede's is in Transition because we do not currently have a regular, full time priest.  The Bishop's Committee is beginning to carry out the process of searching for and calling a new priest.  We have developed a revised Mission Statement and we have a working a Profile Team.  

Our Priest in Charge is the Reverend Joseph Hickey-Tiernan.  "Joseph" recently celebrated the 50th Anniversary of his ordination.  ​Joseph has an amazing background, having worked as the main Rector at a Saint Barnabas' Episcopal Church for 16 years and at other Episcopal  churches in Washington.  Joseph served as a professor in the department of Religion at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma for seven years.  His teaching included a course on the Gospel of John.  Joseph now resides in nearby Pierce County with his wife and cat.

A Prayer for St. Bede’s Transition:   Almighty God, we thank you drawing us together in Christian fellowship here at St. Bede’s; grant us strength, wisdom, courage and patience as we search for a companion and leader; keep our eyes fixed on the work you have given us to do, loving and serving you and our neighbors as ourselves; in the glory of one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
