Our Clergy
Priest in Charge Father Greg Larkin comes to us from Saint Columba’s in Camarillo, where he served as Rector for 22 years before his retirement in 2022. Before coming to Camarillo, he served congregations in Long Beach, La Crescenta, and Anaheim. He looks forward to bringing his creativity to our Sunday morning worship in preaching and leading services. Father Greg is passionate about Christian education on all levels, having served the Church in this area on the diocesan, provincial, and national levels. For this work, he was named a Canon of the Diocese by Bishop Borsch. He is a trained spiritual director and enjoys exploring Celtic spirituality. He is also an ardent supporter of our Diocesan Camp, Camp Stevens. He has served several terms on the board of directors. He has been a Chaplain for various camp programs, including more than 30 years of counselor training. He is a member of the General Theological Seminary alumni board in New York City. Father Greg’s interests include needlework, reading, and traveling, especially exploring Sedona, Arizona. He is an avid Dodgers fan (his license plate reads DAWJERZ). He has coordinated the annual Diocesan Dodger Night for the last 25+ years. Interim Priest The Rev. Victoria Kirk Mouradian serves as Interim Priest for Saint Paul's, Ventura. She also serves as Associate Rector for All Saints by-the-Sea, Montecito, where she is in charge of adult formation, which includes Christian education and spiritual formation through classes, workshops, retreats, and fellowship opportunities. She participates fully in Sunday worship once per month and preaches or celebrates on a rotating basis. Rev. Vicki also serves as clergy liaison to the lay-led pastoral care committee. Rev. Vicki grew up as an Episcopalian in Beverly Hills, California, and attended the University of Southern California, where she earned a bachelor's degree in art history. She then moved on to Fuller Theological Seminary, where she earned a master's of theology, taking Anglican Studies at the Episcopal Theological Seminary at Claremont. Rev. Vicki is interested in art, museums, books, films, public gardens, travel, and creating two-dimensional collages. Before entering the ministry, she worked as an event coordinator. One thing few people know about Rev. Vicki is that to relax, she reads murder mysteries and international suspense novels. Retired Associate The Rev. Dr. Richard Swanson started assisting at St Paul's in 2011, after moving to Channel Islands Harbor from Bodega Bay, a small fishing village north of San Francisco. He retired as rector of All Saints, San Leandro in 2001, after serving there for fourteen years. Previously he had served worldwide as an Air Force Chaplain for twenty years. Fr Dick, and his wife, Jan, are delighted to be living in such a lovely setting and close to their daughters and grandsons. Jan 's retired from being a university professor at several schools in the Bay Area and San Antonio, TX. She began as a public health nurse in Detroit before earning a Ph.D. and then went on to teach Public Health Nursing and Epidemiology, to nursing students, as well as working on federal grants involving health care delivery in the United States. Fr. Anthony is currently serves The Episcopal Church in many capacities! In addition to occasionally gracing us with a sermon, he attends and serves St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Ojai. Missioner for Latino/Hispanic ministries for The Episcopal Church, Anthony and his spouse, Guadalupe, live in the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles and attend St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church Ojai – lucky for us, since it gives my colleagues and me a chance on a semi-regular basis to pick the brains of a cutting-edge leader of the 21st century church. Anthony told me today that by 2060, one in three Americans will be Latino. He’s a specialist in ministry to English-speaking children and grandchildren of Spanish-speaking immigrants. Evangelical churches are reaching out to them aggressively, Anthony says — but they need Anglican-Episcopal values and community the same as everyone in our secularizing times. With Canon Anthony’s help, we’re planning a diocese-wide program this fall — he calls it “New Camino” — to give the leaders of our missions and parishes the tools to build relationships with second- and third-generation Latinos. First vital insight: One doesn’t have to speak Spanish to do Hispanic ministry. Rector The Rev. Susan Bek is currently on long-term disability. She serves as the Rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Ventura. She is a motivated and spirit-filled priest who loves her work serving God in Christ and spreading hope and Good News in the world. She lives in Ventura, California with her husband, Jon. They have four children and four grandchildren. Her passions include preaching, teaching, children’s ministries, music, graphic design and wildlife photography. She is proficient in both English and American Sign Language (ASL) and incorporates sign language every time she celebrates the Eucharist. She does this to show that we are committed to welcoming all, even when that means we need to change in order to become more accessible.The Rev. Canon Greg Larkin
