Father Justin received his Bachelor of Arts from Earlham College, Richmond, Indiana, and his Master of Divinity from Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley. He was ordained as a deacon by the Right Reverend Marc Handley Andrus, Bishop of California, on June 4, 2011 and served as deacon at St. Clement’s Episcopal Church, Berkeley. On December 3, 2011, he was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Andrus and from June 2012-January 2016 served his first priestly call at Saint Giles Episcopal Church, Moraga. He was then called to serve as Rector of All Saints and began his ministry here in January 2016.
 
Father Justin is the founder and director of Holy Hikes, an eco-ministry that is committed to rebuilding Communion between people and Creation. He is a published author, the editor of two books ― Sanctified: An Anthology of Poetry by LGBT Christians and Homosexuality in the Orthodox Church ― and was interviewed in the 2012 film The Right to Love: An American Family.
 
Before his first call to priestly ministry, Fr. Justin worked as Program Manager of Episcopal Charities, now named Episcopal Impact Fund. His efforts focused on the launch of Episcopal Charities’ Action Networks, which worked to address the root causes of poverty in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is an avid hiker and lover of the outdoors, and lives very near to the church with his husband Max.

Br. Shawn Harold’s military service is a significant part of his life. He served over twenty years in the United States Navy’s Submarine Force, retiring as a Chief Petty Officer. His career was marked by significant experiences, including serving on four submarines, being deployed four times, and visiting the North Pole twice. These experiences have shaped him and prepared him for his current endeavors. After retiring from the Navy in 2016, he received his Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and his teaching credential from San Francisco State University. He currently teaches high school mathematics in Union City at his Alma Mater, James Logan.  

In 2003, while stationed in San Diego, CA, he became a member of the Episcopal Church at Saint Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral, where he found his love of church and first felt God’s call to ministry. Br. Shawn served as a Verger at the Cathedral for 15 years (when he wasn’t at sea), was a member of the Altar Guild, served on the Chapter (a Cathedral’s version of a Vestry), and served as a Daily Office Officiant.

A long-time friend to pillars of our church community, Joseph was raised in the forested hills of Connecticut, before moving from Sandy Hook, to Campbell, California, in high school. He made the Dean’s list of De Anza College, where he studied Administration of Justice. He arrived in San Leandro in 1998, as a paramedic, transferring from Monterey County operations, mostly working in Salinas, having trained with San Francisco Department of Public Health: Paramedic Division. What he witnessed from years of 911, would inspire him to search for a cure to the violent trauma he was paid to respond to, by influencing how people see each other, with poetry. Known for his rhyme, from San Leandro City Hall to the halls of the U.S. Congress, he can often be found writing at Zocalo Coffeehouse. He is proud to serve the All Saints community, as our janitor.
