In 1980, the Rev. Geoff Curtiss was called to Hoboken, New Jersey. During his 33 years there, he created All Saints' Episcopal Parish (http://www.allsaintshoboken.com/) from the original three Hoboken congregations, started All Saints' Day School for grades K-8 (http://www.allsaintsdayschool.org/), the Jubilee Center (http://jubileecenterhoboken.org/) and the Hoboken Shelter (http://hobokenshelter.org/). Says Bishop Mark Beckwith, "he's the emodiment of mission." Having announced his retirement in 2013, Curtiss spoke at the 139th Annual Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Newark about the missional focus of his career.
