Lakeport >> St. John’s Episcopal Church is dedicating the church office to Friar Leo Joseph, who passed Jan. 23, 2015. The Rt. Rev. Barry Biesner, Bishop of the Northern California Diocese, will be celebrating mass and dedicating the office.
Bishop Beisner will offer Holy Eucharist and preach this Sunday, Jan. 3, at Saint John’s Episcopal Church. His homily will be based on the second chapter of Matthew which tells of the Holy Family’s escape into Egypt from the persecution of King Herod. Services start at 10 a.m. Biesner will also bless the Father Leo M. Joseph Memorial Office, visit with the congregation and guests in Carey Hall, and meet with the Vestry.
Saint John’s Church welcomes both parishioners and the public to this important event. Saint John’s is located at 1190 N. Forbes St. Lakeport, and has been the presence and ministry of The Episcopal Church in Lake County since 1877.
