Ethan Armistead Answers the Call

A poster for level 1 assistant catechist training

All Saints is excited to announce that Ethan Armistead will be our newest seminarian. After two years of prayer and discernment, Ethan has been named a postulant for Holy Orders. He will begin seminary this fall. Ethan has listened closely for where God is leading. His message is below:

Last week I attended the Bishops Advisory Commission on Ministry. Bishop Curry has informed me that I was made a postulant for Holy Orders. I am so grateful, and delighted to announce that I will be attending seminary in the Fall! I have been in a process through the Church for about two years now, discerning my call to priesthood. I have kept a listening heart, and a posture of dependency on the Lord. A group of wise and amazing individuals helped me discern this call. Brad Landry, Bryson Waldo, Susanna Whitsett, Marisa Mitchell, Trent Ponder, and the late Joseph Slane. This group listened to me, gave wisdom, and helped me discern what this call God has put on my life means. Going to seminary means so much to me. I am able to obey what God has called me to do. I look forward to spreading God’s love, and being a vessel for the Holy Spirit. To helping others, and being a faithful servant to a good, and gracious God. Thank you All Saints!

Pet Blessing October 7

September 21, 2026

Our Annual Pet Blessing will be Wednesday, October 7 on the Terrell Commons grass area! Bring your lawn chair or blanket to enjoy Chick-fil-A for dinner that starts at 5:30pm and blessing of the pets will follow. The Pet Blessing is an annual ceremony celebrating the human-animal bond, originating as part of the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and the environment. St. Francis was admired for his deep and genuine respect for all creatures and his belief in the interdependency of humans with the rest of creation. He was a fiery preacher, and not many wanted to hear his message so he preached to animals instead. This ceremony helps us to remember how important our animal companions are and how they show unconditional love for us. If you have an older less mobile pet, or maybe one that doesn't handle social gatherings very well, feel free to bring a picture of that animal and we are happy to bless those.
