Our Clergy

Assigned and serving:

The Very Reverend Trudy Erquiaga

Rev. Trudy has served as one of the priests at Holy Trinity since 2003.  People are her passion; most of her ministry involves sharing stories with people in the congregation and community (officiating at marriages, memorials, facilitating bereavement groups, and visiting with hospice patients and their families).

Trudy's 'church' responsibilities (besides celebrating Holy Eucharist) include parish communicator, planning worship, assisting folks in identifying/discovering their gifts/talents and encouraging/training them to share their 'ministries' in the church and community.

She is also the Dean of the Central Mission District.

Swimming, reading, and 'playing in the kitchen' top her list of things to do in her spare time.  A native Nevadan, Trudy was born and raised (Episcopalian) in White Pine County.

Reverend Jim Kelley

The Rev. Jim Kelley is a newly ordained priest at Holy Trinity; baptized in this church in Fallon in 1964.  He lives out his passion for the western life style making saddles and experiences firsthand all of God's wonders in the great outdoors and open spaces. Ranch raised, he acquired a deep love for horses, Labs, Queensland Healers, and the sport of rodeo. 

Reverend Deacon Nancy Janess

The Rev. Nancy Janess has been involved with the Episcopal Church since she was eleven years old. Ordained as deacon in 2003, she mails weekly bulletins/Sunday School information to those unable to attend services on Sunday, prays regularly with the Wednesday Community Prayer group, serves as an altar minister, recycles, and cares for people, animals, and God's world. Her passion is gardening, collecting books, and serving others.
