The Reverend Jane Hostetter, Deacon

The Reverend Jane Hostetter, Deacon, has been a member at All Saints' Church since 1998. She was ordained in December 2007 by Bishop Frade who assigned her to All Saints'.

She was born and raised in the farm country of New Jersey, riding horses and even milking cows.

She attended an Episcopal boarding school in Maryland and enrolled in a college in Vermont, Green Mountain College. She went on to nursing school and became a cardiac nurse at Morristown Memorial Hospital, in New Jersey, for 12 years.

Her husband introduced her to the polo world and travelled the circuit, bringing her to Florida 20 years ago. She still has a horse farm in Wellington with her sister, Prudence. She also enjoys running her two dogs in agility trials.

Her ministry is in pastoral care, working in hospitals and hospice and visiting our sick and shut-in. She received her Clinical Pastoral Education accredition at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, which she says was a life altering experience.

She hopes that she can increase the pastoral care ministry at All Saints' with the help of the Lay Eucharist Visitors and laypersons. To bring comfort for those in need is a significant aspect of her ministry.
