Rosemary Trei Ordained to the Diaconate

Stanton Center Registrar Rosemary Trei was one of five candidates ordained to the Sacred Order of Deacons on Saturday, June 6th at St. Matthew's Cathedral. The five new deacons (pictured left to right with Bishop Stanton) are: The Rev. Freda Brown, The Rev. Mary Lessmann, The Rev. Thomas Kincaid, The Rev. Michael Cover, and The Rev. Rosemary Trei.

Deacon Rosemary will continue to serve as the Registrar for the Stanton Center (yeah!) and has been assigned to serve at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in her new role as a deacon. We are so proud to have Deacon Rosemary, a Stanton Center graduate, ordained as a deacon in Christ's one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church. May God continue to bless her and her family!

Stanton Center Graduation Day

We are proud to announce the graduation of three of our outstanding students at the Stanton Center: (left to right in photo) D. R. Marshall, Ron Holmes, and Jan Benitz. Each of these students received a Diploma in Ministry after successfully completing all of the required courses at the Center. On hand to congratulate the students and hand out diplomas were the Stanton Center Dean, The Very Rev. Kevin Martin, The Right Rev. James Stanton, Bishop of the Diocese of Dallas, and Stanton Center Director, the Rev. Canon Nancy Powers. We will miss D. R., Ron, and Jan and hope they will join us for Holy Eucharist and lunch one Saturday next fall!

Diaconal Ordination

I am pleased to announce that Rosemary Trei, our Stanton Center registrar, will be among a group of five individuals ordained to the diaconate on Saturday, June 6th, at 10 a.m. at St. Matthew's Cathedral. Rosemary graduated from the Stanton Center in 2008. She was "raised up" for the diaconate by St. Paul's in Duncanville and will be serving as a deacon at St. Luke's in Dallas after her ordination.
