New Curate at St. John’s of Lattingtown
The Bishop, Rector, Wardens, and Vestry are pleased to announce that The Rev’d Cameron M. Walker has been called as the new curate at St. John’s of Lattingtown Episcopal Church.
“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Cam both to the Diocese of Long Island, and as our new curate at St. John’s of Lattingtown,” said Fr. Mark Fitzhugh, Rector. “Cam will officially begin his ministry here on July 1st with his first Sunday now set for July 7th. This will be a three[1]year appointment and we all feel truly blessed to have him join our talented ministry team.”
In August 2021, Cam began his studies at Nashotah House Theological Seminary in Nashotah, Wisconsin working towards his Master’s in Divinity, graduating in May 2024. He was ordained by The Rt. Rev’d Lawrence Provenzano, Bishop of Long Island, to the transitional Diaconate on February 7, 2024 at St. Anskar’s Episcopal Church in Hartland, Wisconsin. He will be ordained to the Sacred Order of Priests on Saturday, September 14, 2024 at the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Garden City.
Before seminary, Cam served as the Programs Associate at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Detroit, Michigan, where from 2019-2021 he helped to research, plan and implement successful church programs and events. One area of special interest was building community relationships with local artists and businesses to attract events to historic St. John’s. Additionally, he helped develop that congregation into a stage for the fine arts and a pillar of support for activism in the revitalization of downtown Detroit. He is a talented Christian leader and has tremendous experience and passion for ministry with children, youth, families, outreach, and music.
Born and raised in Fenton, Michigan, Cam brings to St. John’s a diverse professional background serving as an Enterprise Risk Management Intern with the Legal Team of Quicken Loans in Detroit. In 2018, he was based in Washington, DC and completed an Internship in the American Studies Program with a Strategic Communication residency at The Washington National Cathedral. From 2015-2017, Cam was the Director of Christian Education at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Kankakee, Illinois. He was the lead teacher at St. Paul’s for Sunday morning educational offerings for children and youth.
The son of Darrin & Melony Walker, Cam enjoys traveling, cooking, and spending summers in Northern Michigan with family. Finally, his Anglo-Catholic prayer life continuously asks God to grant at least one trip to the Super Bowl for his beloved Detroit Lions.
