The Rev. Ronnie Willerer, Associate Rector
I am often reminded of words said to me in the spring of 2003 – “to expect God to give God’s best” – because God does not do otherwise. Being a part of the family of the Episcopal Church of Our Saviour is a tangible experience of God’s best!
I am a long time resident of Jacksonville. In fact, I grew up at St. Andrew’s in Arlington, where Max and I were married thirty years ago this past June. We have two grown sons and a very special (and beautiful) new daughter-in-law! Our sons and I each have English Springer Spaniels who are very important members of our families. My dog, Fenway, (and yes, they are all three named after baseball parks) was a wonderful companion during seminary. When both of our sons come home with their dogs, the house gets a bit chaotic (and loud).
After finishing my undergraduate work in Philosophy at UNF, I attended seminary at The School of Theology at the University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee. Prior to seminary, my career focus was raising our sons. I was an optometric assistant/technician before our children were born, returning to work in an occasional part-time position after our boys were a bit older. I was active in several diocesan programs: Cursillo, Happening, and Christ Spring. I served as the Diocesan Lay Director for Breakout! and was the Interim Summer Camp Director at Camp Weed for the 2003 summer.
If you are a member of the Episcopal Church of Our Saviour, thank you for helping to make this a place where God’s love is flowing! If you are looking for a community where God is at work in the hearts and lives of the people and reaching out into the community, please come and experience what is a tangible expression of God’s best!
