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.
