Clergy News: All Saints, Hilton Head Island

The Rev. Denise Trogdon, rector of All Saints, Hilton Head Island announced to her congregation on Sunday, May 4, that she and the vestry have called the Rev. Eric Bash to serve as associate rector, beginning on June 1. Rev. Bash most recently served as curate of St. John’s, Johns Island, and his final service there was this past Sunday.

“I’d like to express such gratitude to St. John’s for all the love and care they showered me with while I was there; you are forever etched in my heart, and I won’t be far away,” said Rev. Bash. “I am so excited to start working with the amazing people at All Saints and see all the amazing things God will continue to do in their parish and the larger community of Hilton Head Island!”

Throughout the summer, Rev. Bash will serve alongside the Rev. Katie Presley, associate rector of All Saints, Hilton Head Island. Prior to Rev. Trogdon’s announcement on Sunday, Rev. Presley shared with the congregation the news that she has discerned a call to active duty Army chaplaincy, and will be resigning from All Saints in August. She currently serves as a reservist in the U.S. Army, but feels called to full-time ministry with soldiers.

In making these announcements on Sunday, Rev. Trogdon expressed gratitude that all three clergy will be serving All Saints throughout the summer, ensuring a smooth transition. The congregation looks forward to welcoming Rev. Bash to Hilton Head in a few weeks!
