The Rev. Jan F. Hosea, Priest in Charge

As a lifelong Episcopalian, Jan felt the call to ordained ministry in the early 2000.  Beginning work at the Cathedral of St. John, Jan served as LEM, Verger, Jr. Warden (twice) and various committees including the Capital Campaign Committee in 1998. After ordination to the Diaconate in 2009, she served the Cathedral and St. Chads and subsequently was ordained at St. John’s to the Sacred Order of Priests in 2010.

In the following years she was Associate Rector at St. Chad’s for 13 and half years (with 16 months as Interim Rector). Following “retirement” from that position, she accepted a call to St. Andrew’s Las Cruces.

Prior to ordination, Jan was an executive for nonprofit organizations, a Fund Raiser (had her own consulting Co,) most recently serving The University of New Mexico School of Law and Presbyterian Healthcare Foundation.

Jan has taken her ordination vows seriously to serve the greater church and has been on the Cathedral Chapter, Disciplinary Board, CLAD, and COMB.  She currently is on the Standing Committee and Trustees of the Property. She also served as the Chaplain for the DDRG Daughters of the King.

Lindsay Jewett: Office Administrator

I was born in Orange, California, and I moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, in 2005.  I moved here with my parents and children. I have three grown kids, a boy that is 19 years old and twin girls that are 17 years old. I graduated with honors from CNM in August of 2016 with my Office Assistant certificate.  I look forward to working here many years, and I feel honored to be part of the staff.

Mark Brasington: Organist (Interim)

Pam Bonahoom: Pianist

Anne Mallory: Senior Warden; Liaison for Children’s Christian Education

Born and raised in Westbury, New York.  I am the granddaughter of an Episcopal Priest, Herald Swezy who served in the Diocese of New York for over 20 years.  Our family attended the Church of the Advent until we relocated in Albuquerque in 1974.  My husband Mike and I were married at St. Matthews in 1980 and our two sons Mark and Wyatt were also baptized there.

I am honored to serve as Senior Warden under the care of Mother Jan and to serve on the Vestry at St. Mary’s.  I enjoy working with the committed individuals on our vestry who tirelessly work to keep our parish active and meaningful.  With each new year I appreciate getting to know many of our members in a more personal setting representing our members in day-to-day decisions, and sharing ideas for fellowship and worship during our vestry meetings and events.

 I have been an active member of St. Mary’s since our formation in 1989.  As a parent of two sons, I have been involved in Children’s Christian Education at St. Mary’s for over thirty years.  My boys have since moved on and yet I continue to enjoy working with children and remain involved in ministries involving youth.

I have the opportunity to meet and get to know practically everyone who enters our doors during the 9:30 A.M. Eucharist as a Greeter and Usher from time to time on Sunday morning.  If I do not get the chance to say hello in the Church I will most certainly catch up with you during coffee Hour in Tarbell Community Hall.

I have recently started a second career as a Project Assistant and Office Manager at The Hartman and Majewski Design Group.  I enjoy working with an Architecture Firm that is so dedicated to our community.

Bill Bonahoom:  Junior Warden

Barbara Kailey

One of my favorite things about serving on our Vestry is establishing and strengthening the bonds with the brothers and sisters serving alongside me.  Deep connections are formed while we are working on the “business” side of St. Mary’s.  It is my pleasure and privilege to be serving another term. I am a native New Mexican and a life-long Episcopalian.  I have recently retired and am mindfully and deliberately trying to NOT fill my calendar. That is easier said than done!  At St. Mary’s, I am active with Daughters of the King and our Finance Committee.

Julie Nielsen

Julie Nielsen (nee Porter) was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota in a blizzard.  

She was an Air Force brat who moved around in her youth.  Once the family settled in Albuquerque, New Mexico, she decided no more moving; this was home and it has been ever since. She was raised in the Methodist church. Her dad was an usher and adult Sunday school teacher. Her mother helped with the altar and communion. She was baptized and confirmed in the Methodist Church when she was twelve years old. 

Julie married Dan Nielsen in 1994 and started attending St. Mary’s with Dan and her two young stepdaughters, Leah and Danah.  Both girls served as acolytes as did Julie and she became a reader and very involved at the altar including serving on the Vestry and two different Discernment Committees. She was a long time attendee of Sam Stearns’ bible study classes as well. In 1998, Beth Nielsen was born to Dan and Julie and she was raised at St. Mary’s and served as an acolyte just like her sisters. Julie was confirmed in the Episcopal Church by Bishop Kelshaw.  

Julie is very committed to St Mary’s Episcopal Church and hopes to contribute to the growth and prosperity of this parish.  She currently is a faithful contributor at Jack Blenk’s Sunday morning Bible Study. 

Julie has a Bachelor’s degree in Finance from the University of New Mexico Robert O. Anderson School of Management.  She has made a career in financial institutions and currently serves as Vice President of Finance at Sandia Laboratory Federal Credit Union.  She is an avid fitness buff and reader. She loves her dog, is very close with all three of their daughters and spends time with her three grandchildren whenever she can. Her parents (Dad – Ken, Mom – JoAnn and Stepdad – Bob) are a very big part of her life as well.  She is a lifelong learner and hopes to continue to grow and learn.

Linda Konkel

While I was not raised an Episcopalian, I have spent most of my adult life attending the Episcopalian church.  I have been a member of St. Mary’s for the last four years, where I have come to embrace the faith as if born to it.  I retired from Sandia National Laboratories where I worked 25 years as an analyst. My husband, Marty, also retired from Sandia after 36 years.  We have been blessed to be married for the last 33 years.  I am a proud stepmother to three wonderful adult children and four of the most wonderful grandchildren I could ever ask for. We also share a very spoiled little Pug who gives us a lot of happiness.  I am a member of the Daughter’s of the King, the Altar Guild, and serve as a Lay Eucharistic Visitor.  I am also working on updating the website for St. Mary’s.  I was honored when Mother Jan asked me if I would serve on the Vestry and I look forward to serving St. Mary’s with God’s help.  Linda
