CHURCH OF THE HOLY APOSTLES
MEET PEDRO LARA
Our New Associate Rector
At our Annual Meeting in January 2025, I was able to tell you that we were in the process of recruiting and hiring a full-time Associate Rector. I’m delighted to share that we have called a new Associate Rector.
It has been over 14 years since COTHA has had a second full-time ordained rector on staff, so I am very excited to begin this new chapter of our ministry together.
In the weeks leading up to his arrival in late June, we’ll share stories, reflections, and opportunities below to get to know our new Associate Rector and the gifts he brings to our community.
In Christ,
Alex Large, Rector
The Rev Pedro Lara
My name is Pedro Lara. I am originally from Dallas (not to worry, I'm not a Cowboys fan) but have lived in southern Wisconsin for the past seven years, where I have served as the rector of Christ Church in Delavan.
My wife Gloria and I are high school sweethearts and were married in 2011. We have three girls who keep the house fun and busy: Leah (13), Emma (9), and Junia (4).
I attended Nashotah House Seminary in 2014 in Nashotah, WI, and after graduating in 2017, I returned to Dallas, where I was ordained and served as curate at St. Mary's, Irving. In 2018, I accepted a call to Christ Church, where I'm serving until I arrive at COTHA.
