Saint Giles is a parish without walls of our own, celebrating the Holy Eucharist in the beautiful chapel of Saint Mary’s College of California. Saint Giles Parish exists to provide an Anglican spiritual community dedicated to nourishing individual ministry and witnessing to the ecumenical and universal dimensions of the Gospel. We provide community, pastoral care, education, and fine liturgy for our members, and we reach out in service and hospitality beyond our parish family.

Below is a calendar listing services and other events in the life of our parish.  Details about next Sunday's liturgy can be found by clicking on the link titled "This Sunday," in the left hand column of this page.  There you will find a listing of the Scripture readings appointed by the Revised Common Lectionary, hymns, service music, and musical offerings by the parish musicians.
 

Prayer for a Spirit of Reconciliation

Lord, make us instruments of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let us sow love;
    where there is injury, pardon;
    where there is discord, union;
    where there is doubt, faith;
    where there is despair, hope;
    where there is darkness, light;
    where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
    to be understood as to understand;
    to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
    it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
    and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
(Attributed to Saint Francis of Assisi)

 

Mother Teri Gilmore

The Rev. Teresa (Teri) Gilmore served as Interim Rector of Saint Giles Parish from August 2010 through October 2011.  She is now serving as a Chaplain at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, San Rafael.  Mother Teri came to Saint Giles with a wealth of experience in parish work at Saint Matthew's Episcopal Church in Sacramento and at Trinity Episcopal Church in Folsom.  An important component in her work at both parishes was working with youth.  She recently completed the Chaplain Residency program at Alta Bates Hospital where she provided chaplain services to patients in the drug and alcohol dependency treatment unit, as well as patients and their families throughout the Alta Bates Summit Medical Center.  Prior to entering seminary, Mother Teri worked in journalism as librarian researcher at the Vacaville Reporter where she also wrote a weekly column for the religion page.  Her journalism career began when she was living in Venezuela in the late 1970s and early 1980s, where she worked as a reporter for the English language newspaper The Daily Journal.  Having lived in Guatemala as a child, she regained her fluency in Spanish, a skill that she used in her work at Saint Matthews, where she built a thriving Spanish-speaking congregation.  In addition to journalism, Mother Teri has worked in the business world and also as a librarian at San Rafael Public Library.  Mother Teri enjoys skiing, traveling with her husband Dick and spending her time with family.  Transcripts of Mother Teri's sermons during her pastoral ministry in Saint Giles Parish can be found here.
