				The Rev. Dr. Walter L. Prehn III, Assistant Rector W.L. “Chip” Prehn serves as Assistant Rector & Chaplain of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church & School. In addition to his share of the fundamental priestly duties of leading worship, preaching, teaching, and pastoralia, Father Prehn’s focus of ministry and administration is in the general business of Christian Formation. “Half Texan and half Mississippian,” as he puts it, Chip Prehn was prepared for the priesthood at Nashotah House in Wisconsin (M.Div 1985) and awarded the Ph.D degree by the University of Virginia in 2005. Prehn’s specialty as a historical scholar is the rise of the Church-sponsored college preparatory school in the nineteenth century North Atlantic world. Father Prehn is married to Celia Jones of Dallas (1988). The Prehns have three children, Thomas, David, and Mary Katherine. The boys attend TMI/Episcopal and the daughter, St. Luke’s Episcopal School. chip@stlukes-sa.net

				Dan Garcia, Head Sexton Dan Garcia occupies the ancient and venerable post of Parish Sexton, whose primary duty it is to maintain the fabric of the Church, to use the old parlance. Except for major construction or specialized projects, one rarely sees outside tradesmen at St. Luke's. There is a reason for that. Besides keeping the place clean and presentable, if something needs repairing, painting, constructing, washing, heating, cooling, planting, installing, or moving, Mr. Garcia and his staff will make it happen. He is the person to see when you need to have a room set up for a function.
