St. Anselm of Canterbury

There are many people associated with the Church of the Good Samaritan that you may meet or will want to seek out. They provide a variety of services to our community and the world at large.

St. Anselm is the Ministry in Higher Education for the Episcopal Church at Oregon State University and Linn-Benton Community College.

Fr. Jon Goman has been the Chaplain at Saint Anselm of Canterbury for many years. He holds a Doctorate of Religion from Southern California School of Theology at Claremont (where he was a Danforth Fellow) with an additional year of study at Cambridge University in England. He is known for the depth and range of his pastoral care as well as his ability to bring the scriptures alive in his sermons. He is guided by the principle that the intellect is a divine gift to be used in our spiritual development.

Lucy Goman is the music director at Saint Anselm. In addition to being an accredited music teacher, she is a member of the Hymn Society of the United States and Canada. Under her energetic leadership Saint Anselm has one of the finest music programs of any small church in Oregon. She writes hymns, accompanies the worship services, and trains and encourages vocal and instrumental soloists.
