We welcome back for our Easter service guest celebrant and preacher, the Rev. Canon J. Sierra Reyes

The Rev. Cn. J. Sierra Reyes began her call to serve as the Diocese of California’s Canon to the Ordinary in September 2024. In this role, she serves as the chief of diocesan staff and assists Bishop Austin Rios in supporting clergy, lay leaders, and congregations throughout the Bay Area. Previously she served as Canon for Ministry in the Diocese of Chicago, where she managed pastoral transitions and coordinated clergy deployment, search processes, and new clergy support.  Graduating with high honors from Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia, she earned her Master of Divinity from Harvard Divinity School. Her formation for ministry included coursework at Episcopal Divinity School, Cambridge, and a year of study at the University of Cape Town in South Africa.  We thank Canon Sierra for being with us this Sunday!
