We are pleased to announce the two newest canonical clergy in our diocese!
The Very Rev. Canon Bryan Hollon, PhD, has been dean and president of Trinity Anglican Seminary since 2022, and has now finalized his paperwork to be canonically resident in our diocese.
The Rev. Jason Goble was ordained to the sacred order of deacons in June 2024 through the Gulf Atlantic Diocese of the ACNA and will be continuing his diaconal year in our diocese.

I stumbled into Grace Anglican Church of Grove City, Pennsylvania, on a Sunday evening in July 2023, seeking refuge.
"Rest is so important because it honors our faith and trust in God, who provides all things for us."

Deo volente, the Rt. Rev. Alex Cameron, Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh, will institute the Rev. Gregory Sparks as rector of Jonah's Call Anglican Church in Pittsburgh, PA, on August 4, 2024. Your prayers and presence are requested.
Clergy are invited to vest (red stoles) and process.
"I am delighted to be together with the people of God throughout the ACNA."
Bishop Alex took a moment out of a busy but joyful week to send greetings to our diocese from Provincial Assembly, noting the warmth that our staff and volunteers have added to the event in Latrobe, PA.
We are pleased to announce that the College of Bishops of the ACNA has elected the Rt. Rev. Stephen Wood to be our next archbishop, taking over from the Most Rev. Dr. Foley Beach at the conclusion of Provincial Assembly.
"As you pray for the Assembly of the ACNA, I invite you not to miss an opportunity to gather yourselves. Where there is opportunity to gather together with brothers and sisters in the Lord is always a foretaste of the glory that we will one day have with the Lord, entirely."

"In times of transition, it is easy for us to look to our anxiety and fears, but pray that we would see the Lord leading us in this season."
As the diocesan bishops of the Anglican Church in North America prepare to discern and elect a new archbishop for the Province next week, Bishop Alex invites us to give thanks for Archbishop Foley Beach's sacrificial decade of service to the denomination and pray the College of Bishops to have grace to be looking to the Lord.
"How do we know who to ordain? It is fundamentally a discernment of the church, which is different from any other career path."
As we prepare to ordain Erik, Krystal, and Wes on June 8, 2024, Bishop Alex answers the questions: why do we ordain people and how does one discern a call to be ordained? We welcome all of you to join us for the ordination service, which will take place at St. Stephen's Anglican Church in Sewickley, PA.
