Positions Offered

St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, Palo Alto, CA — We seek an Associate Priest with gifts in the areas of homiletics, education and formation, liturgies, pastoral care, and leadership development. All of our previous Associates have found St. Mark’s to be a good, healthy and supportive place to learn and grow and develop skills for future parochial, diocesan and national church positions. Our Associate works in concert with the Rector for the spiritual nurture of the parish that all might deepen their relationship with God through the rich and varied resources of the Christian tradition. In accordance with ordination vows the Associate will preach and preside over various sacramental rites of the church and tend to the souls of individuals and groups seeking counsel and guidance. Depending on the needs of the community the Associate also raises up and supports leaders and volunteers and teaches forums and workshops. Fresh ideas are encouraged. The Associate’s ultimate focus will match personal gifts with the needs of the parish. To apply please submit the following via email to The Rev. Matthew McDermott (matt@saint-marks.com): Cover letter, OTM Profile, resumé, two sermons (video links preferred, audio accepted). Our search will remain open until we hire an applicant.
