On Sunday, March 10 the Clergy and Bishop's Committee of the Church of the Holy Spirit in Campbell and the Rector and Vestry of the Church of St. Edward the Confessor in San Jose put forth the following recommendation for congregational discussion and discernment:

In the interest of increased effectiveness in mission and ministry, it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us that Holy Spirit Episcopal Church, Campbell and the Church of St. Edward the Confessor, San Jose be combined in such a way that a new church be planted on the St. Edward’s campus.

The congregational discernment period will extend throughout Eastertide and shall culminate in a joint service on Sunday, May 19 (Pentecost) and a congregational vote on Sunday, June 2. The text of the recommendation letter, Frequently Asked Questions, and proposed timeline are available individually as PDF files by clicking on the links or here online as a web page.

Please direct any questions to The Rev. Tom Sramek, Jr., Rector of St. Edward's or The Rev. Mike Ferrito, Vicar of Holy Spirit. Please keep us in your prayers during this process.
