ASSOCIATE PRIEST

WELCOME!
I am delighted to have been called as Rector of this dynamic, loving and growing Episcopal parish, affectionately known as St. James, and I look forward to seeing where God will lead us together. It is my intention to build upon the previous leadership in proclaiming the good news and the joy found in the love of Christ.

Whether you are just beginning your faith walk, or deepening a mature relationship with God, there is a place for you here and I invite you to join us.


In His Joy,
De Freeman +
Mary Jayne Ledgerwood grew up in the Mississippi Delta, graduated from Ole Miss, and founded a public relations and communications firm in Jackson, Mississippi before moving to the Washington, DC area. After being called to ordained ministry, she received a Master in Divinity from the Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria, Virginia and a Doctor of Ministry in Ecumenism and Interreligious Dialogue from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC.

She served parishes in the dioceses of Virginia and Maryland before moving to Pensacola where she began to serve in the Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast in late 2016. She comes to us having most recently served as interim rector at St. Thomas, Greenville.

​“I am thrilled to be joining the staff of St. James, and I cannot wait to see what God has in store for us together in ministry!” exclaims Mary Jayne.
