St. John's Historical Moment

During the 1930s, St. John’s struggled to provide the funds necessary to operate the Parish and meet the debt payments due on the church building. Several times during the depression the Vestry was forced to meet with the representatives of the Standard Building & Loan Association to negotiate smaller payments on the loan. At the same time the Rev. Rufus Morgan, the executive secretary of the Diocese, was called as the Rector. Unable to finance the full salary for the Rector, Rev. Morgan retained his position with the Diocese and served as part time Rector at St. John’s. Finally on May 13, 1945 the final debt payment was made and the church building was consecrated.

Reading the Vestry minutes during World War II one is struck by the number of resignations from Parish officers as they left to serve their country.
