Dr. Jay Geisler When January 1, 2011, comes around, the people of St. Peter's will have more to celebrate than just the New Year.  On that day, the Reverend Dr. William "Jay" Geisler will become St. Peter's sixth rector.  Father Geisler accepted what has to be termed an enthusiastic call from our vestry, based on an equally enthusiastic recommendation from the parish search committee.

"Father Geisler's credentials were very impressive on paper," said Joe Karas, the search committee co-chair, "but we knew he was the right priest for us after we interviewed him.  We spent over three hours talking and sharing ideas with him and were touched by his warmth, compassion and good humor."

Learn more about Reverend Geisler on the Our Rector page.
