Meet Our Church Staff & Leadership

It is not ourselves that we proclaim, we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your servants for Jesus's sake.

​Alex Lenzo, Rector

​Father Alex was born in Austin, TX, but grew up in Las Cruces, New Mexico, meaning he says "y'all" but also knows how to answer "Red or Green?" (Christmas, of course--could a priest answer any other way?). Being from Las Cruces, he also knows that the outdoor lights that we put out at Christmas are called luminarias (not farolitos). He is blessed with an amazing wife, Becca, and 3 fun and crazy children, and one on the way. He loves being a husband, dad, and priest. For books, right now Mary Oliver's poetry, Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lord of the Rings, anything by C.S. Lewis, and Francis Chan are all speaking to his heart.

Regina Hurley, Assoc. Priest
​for Elder Care

​Born and raised a Roman Catholic in New Jersey, Mother Regina moved to New Mexico at age 45 with her husband, Michael. An attorney, she practiced law in N.M. for about 10 years.  Slowly but surely, God continued to nudge her towards serving in ministry; she was received into the Episcopal Church in 2012 and began her journey into the priesthood.  Mo. Regina loves watching for God's miracles in everyday life--in the ordinary stuff of life and in ordinary people is where God shows up!
