Adapted from a Diocese of Fort Worth announcement

The Rt. Rev. Jack L. Iker has received a letter from the Rev. Canon Len Giacolone, rector of St. Francis Anglican Church in Austin, Texas, saying that the parish voted unanimously at its annual parish meeting on Feb. 1 to seek affiliation with our Diocese.

The parish was formed in 1993 as part of the Episcopal Missionary Church, then under the leadership of the Rt. Rev. A. Donald Davies, first Bishop of Fort Worth.

Currently there are 115 parishioners at St. Francis, with an average Sunday attendance of 60-70 and an annual budget of $185,000.
