Our most sincere thanks to our Pastoral Team
Since the retirement of the Reverend Albany S.K. To, our Founding Rector, the Our Savior parish has been guided by a Pastoral Team under the leadership of the Reverend Dr. Winston Ching. It has been truly a blessing to have the opportunity to grow spiritually under a diversity of styles and perspectives, both theological and pastoral. While we move toward another era in the history of Our Savior with new pastoral leadership, the members of the Pastoral Team will always be part of the Our Savior family.


We offer our thanksgiving for the ministry of:
   The Reverend Dr. Winston W. Ching
   The Reverend David P. Barrie
   The Reverend Mary F. Grambsch


In the past the Reverend Craig Bustrin, Brother Clark Berge, SSF, the Reverend Philip Wong, the Reverend Barbara Crafton and The Reverend Canon Carmen Guerrero have also ministered to us through their gifts, wisdom and spiritual depth. We salute them as well.

The Reverend Dr. Winston W. Ching has announced his retirement as the Officer for Episcopal Asiamerica Ministry of the national church at the end of December 2002. He has served in that capacity for the past 29 years, and has contributed much to the development and growth of Our Savior during his tenure. We look forward to a new working relationship in his retirement.

Our pastoral team, lead by The Rev. Dr. Winston Ching have been ministering to Church of Our Savior for the past eight years. We have been privileged to grow spiritually under a variety of different styles and perspectives both theological and pastoral. Although we are moving into a different stage of Pastoral Leadership, we will always see our pastoral team as members of our family.

We offer our most sincere gratitude for our Pastoral Team:
   The Rev. Dr. Winston Ching
   The Rev. David Barrie
   The Rev. Mary Grambsch

The Rev. Dr. Winston Ching has announced his retirement at the end of last year. We thank Fr. Ching for his 29 years of ministry as the Officer for Episcopal Asiamerica Ministry. In the past 3 decades, he has contributed much to the growth and development of Our Savior. We also look forward to his continual work with us in his retirement.
