On January 6, the Feast of Epiphany, the vestry of St. Luke's announced that the Rev. Brit Bjurstrom Frazier, M.Div., will become rector at St. Luke’s in April.
Mother Brit is currently associate rector at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, Philadelphia, where in addition to preaching and celebrating the Eucharist she has built up children’s and youth ministries, established a summer camp, and provided pastoral care for parishioners and families. Before her call to St. Mark’s, she was associate rector for liturgy and formation at All Saints’, Chevy Chase, Maryland, where in addition to liturgical responsibilities she led adult education, including multiple courses, lecture series, book clubs, scripture studies and a Spiritual Classics Reading Group.
Mother Brit is a graduate of Wellesley College and Virginia Theological Seminary. She has a deep interest in foreign languages, speaks French and Spanish and can read and write in Latin and classical Greek.
While she has lived her adult life on the west and east coasts, Brit has deep Wisconsin and Sister Bay roots. She was born in Milwaukee, raised in Cedarburg, and spent summers in Sister Bay, where her parents have a summer home.
Mother Brit is married to Mark Frazier, an actor and professional carpenter. In her spare time she enjoys camping, reading history, cheering for the Green Bay Packers, cycling, fitness, Star Trek, and making rosaries.
Though she officially begins at St. Luke’s April 1, her first Sunday with the parish will be April 16. Watch for opportunities to get to know her over tea and elsewhere and be sure to give her and Mark a warm St. Luke’s welcome! Bp. Matt Gunter will preside at her formal institution on a date to be announced.
