Welcoming St. Stephen's New Chaplain

On Friday, October 28th, the St. Stephen's Community came together in our Chapel to welcome and install our new chaplain, The Rev. Aimée Eyer-Delevett. The Rt. Rev. Kathryn M. Ryan, Bishop Suffragan of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas, charged Rev. Aimée with the oversight of the spiritual development and pastoral care of the students, faculty, and staff of our school. The community prayed for her and pledged our support.

Representatives from our community including her advisory, the Chapel Leadership Team, counselors, the Liturgical Team, Theology Department members, and middle school students presented her with symbolic gifts to welcome her and acknowledge the many roles she will fill in our community. Those roles include pastor, priest, leader, educator, healer, mentor, and friend. Bishop Ryan then commissioned her as the new Chaplain of our school. 

 

Rev. Aimée's ministry is well underway, however, this meaningful service provided sacred space for us to celebrate what has begun through her and what God will continue to do. We are thankful God has chosen Rev. Aimée to minister to our community and believe the Spirit will work through her in powerful ways as she calls us deeper into our identity as children of God.
