My name is Kate Van Zandt, I’m originally from San Antonio Texas and attend Colorado State University with an English Education Major. I attended St. Mark’s Episcopal Church and St. Luke’s Episcopal School. At St. Mark’s I served as the head acolyte for two years helping and training the parish youth acolyting at nearly every service during the academic year. During my summers, I work as a full-time camp counselor at Camp Capers, a church camp within the Diocese of West Texas. I found St. Luke’s at the beginning of 2024 and immediately got involved with the youth program. I am beyond excited to serve as the Youth and children's minister for this coming year, I can’t wait to walk alongside the youth and children of this parish and help foster a relationship with God and connections with each other.

Parish Vestry

What is a Vestry?

Our function is administrative, involving finance, management, and policy decisions. But our deeper role is to further the mission of St. Luke's and Christ's church in the world, as a unifying force for good. We offer our service as stewards and caretakers within this spiritual framework.

There are nine Vestry members, and we serve staggered 3-year terms. That means each year, a new set of 3 people replaces a set whose term is up. Hence there is always a balance between change and continuity. In addition, the Vestry "team" includes the vital offices of Clerk and Treasurer.

If you have questions about St. Luke's, or would like to learn more about the Vestry, please let us know.

Our names are below, and you can email us c/o the church office or at the role emails linked next to names.
