[Magdalen] St. Paul's, King George, VA

[Grace Cangialosi]

That's the *other* church in King George, not the one where I've supplied. That one is St. John's, and I think they were yoked at one time. I met the rector of St. Paul's at a recent clergy gathering, and he seemed lovely--I don't remember whether he was from Africa or the Caribbean, but it doesn't surprise me that he would be Anglo-Catholic.
I think St. John's new priest-in-charge starts in a couple of weeks.

Did you mean the Feast of the Assumption or the Ascension? I think the former was Mary's big day and happens in August...

(I always do that with the Annunciation and the Visitation!)

It's clear that many of the parishioners are quite Virginia Low, but the rector is quite Anglo-catholic;  people sat or stood at some odd (for me) times (i.e. Sitting for the post-communion prayer); many of the ladies wore chapel caps.
