The Rev'd John L. Janeway,
Priest & Curate

Our Priest:

Father Janeway came to St. Agnes' in December, 2006, but he was definitely not a stranger to us. Father Janeway's own father, The Rev'd Wade Janeway, was priest-in-charge at St. Agnes' in the early 1980's!

Prior to his arrival at St. Agnes', Father Janeway worked as the Theology Librarian at The University of the South. Prior to that, he was rector for a number of congregations in Tennessee, including St. Matthew's McMinnville and St. Thaddeus' in Chattanooga.

Father Janeway is almost always accompanied by his wife, Linda, and his mother, Jane.

Our Mission Council:

Our Mission Council meets on the third Sunday of each month.
