We are a community of people with diverse experiences and beliefs​ who come together to worship, share, grow, and serve following in the Anglican tradition of the Episcopal Church.

We believe in being able to explore faith,​ ask questions, and share doubts, all while seeking a better understanding of God ​ and what it means to follow Jesus’ path today.​

Our backgrounds shape how we consider God’s place in our lives and in our modern world, and how God would want us to live out our mission of promoting love, justice, and peace.

We are a community of people with diverse experiences and beliefs

who come together to worship, share, grow, and serve,

following in the Anglican tradition of the Episcopal Church.

For us, that means being able to explore faith,

to ask questions, and even to share doubts, all while seeking a better understanding of God

and what it means to follow Jesus' path today.

It shapes how we think about God, ourselves, our place in the world,

and how we live out our mission to promote love, justice, and peace

as we keep the promises made in our baptismal covenant.

Enter the parking lot from Monte Rosa, just off the corner with Sand Hill Road.

The Hill Center, our parish office, is the building immediately west of the main church building.

Worship

We gather together to set forth God's praise, to hear God's holy Word, and to pray for those things that are necessary for our life and our salvation, believing that the way of Jesus is the best possible way to live.

Community

We join with one another to support one another in all things, celebrating the high points of life, mourning together the low points, and following the example given to us by Christ during his life among us.

Education

We strive to understand the workings of Jesus and enrich our lives with continuous learning. We strive to teach those around us about the good works that Jesus performed, and strive to input His teachings into our own lives.

Service

We engage in serving the needs of the unhoused, the food insecure, and those in need of educational assistance in the Peninsula as we proclaim the Gospel and promote justice, peace, and love for all people.

Vic De La Cruz

Music Director

     Vic has been the music director at St. Bede’s Episcopal Church since 2022. In his time, he has continued the longstanding musical tradition of prestigious music while bringing the ideals of contemporary choral music to the church’s congregants. While bringing thought-provoking and worship enriching repertoire to Sunday services, he has also collaborated with many musicians both within St. Bede’s and the surrounding community for several special services, including bringing Christmas Eve Lessons and Carols to Menlo Park as well as many Evensong Services.

     Outside of St. Bede’s, Vic is the Head of Music and Director of Vocal Studies at Ohlone College where he directs the Choral Ensembles, instructs voice lessons, and teaches courses in musicology. He earned a Doctorate of Musical Arts from Northwestern University (where he acquired an intense love of both contemporary choral music and deep-dish pizza) and a Master of Arts from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, both in Choral Conducting. He is originally from Orange County, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts in Choral Music Education from California State University, Fullerton.

    Beyond music, Vic has a deep love for Olympic style wrestling, which he both enjoys as a fan and trains and competes for regularly. The remainder of his free time goes to his lovely mini aussiedoodle – Buffy.

St. Bede’s has been home to Jane for a startlingly long time. She taught music in Trinity School and was the Music Director at St. Bede’s for many years. She was then ordained, and served as the Vicar of Holy Innocents in San Francisco. In her retirement, she has returned to St. Bede’s where her family also attends. Her delight is working with the Children’s Ministry but she can occasionally be spotted being useful in other ways.
