In 2025, St. David’s joined the Congregational Collective, an initiative

sponsored by the H. E. Butt Foundation that equips congregations to be

leaders in community health and wellness. We believe mental wellness is

an essential part of overall well‑being and that no one should struggle

alone. Through prayer, education, and community, St. David's Companions seek to bring hope, healing, and understanding to all who need support.

Our Companions - Jennifer Bray, Mikel Brightman, Patty Brooke, Jennifer Holcombe, Mary Olive Judson, Catherine Lillibridge, Mary Hayden Manning, and Nancy Schweers - will walk alongside parishioners through life’s challenges, offering compassionate support, spiritual guidance, and connections to professional resources for mental well-being. You can identify them by their lapel pins bearing the ichthys (fish) symbol.

To learn more about the Congregational Collective or to be connected with a Companion, contact Jennifer Bray at jenniferb@saintdavids.net.
