Madagascar Impact

Today we commission Betsy Wenzel and Walter Jones who will be traveling to the Diocese of Toliara in Madagascar, where Bishop Todd McGregor and his wife, the Rev. Patsy McGregor, serve. Betsy and Walter will represent St. Gregory's at the ordination of three deacons and one priest who have been supported in their education by St. Gregory's Von Kreuter Seminary Scholarship Fund. This fund was started by a planned gift by Hilda Von Kreuter, over twenty years ago. Her legacy still makes a difference supporting people in their calling to serve God's people as priests and deacons in the Episcopal Church and the wider Anglican Communion. We are particularly excited because the Rev. Nolavy Remamy, one of the ordinands, will become the first female malagasy to serve as a priest in the Anglican Church.
