The Rev. Don Fisher - Our Vicar
Father Donald Fisher was born in Marquette, Michigan - that portion of the state known as the Upper Peninsula. He proudly identifies himself as a “Yooper!” While a member of the Capuchin Franciscan Order, he was ordained a priest in 1964. He left active ministry to marry in 1970 and was received into the Episcopal Church in 1975. Fr. Don had a long career as a Human Resource professional with both UPS and FedEx. Upon retirement in 2001, he was invited to serve as Vicar of St. Cyprian’s.
Fr. Don has two adult children, Mark and Maureen, who also reside in San Francisco. Fr. Don is an avid sports fan, enjoys walking and likes to get in an occasional round of golf.
The Rev. Mark Henderson - Our Deacon
Mark has lived in San Francisco for nearly 20 years and works as a librarian. He was raised as a Roman Catholic, but in 1989 joined the Episcopal Church because of its inclusivity and its rich liturgical practice. He graduated with a BTS from the School for Deacons in Berkeley and was ordained to the diaconate in June of 2000.
Mark has taught at the School for Deacons since 2001 with a primary focus on Spiritual Formation. His previous ministries for the Church have included working with the families of people with terminal illness, particularly AIDS.
Mark’s two children both graduated from high school and attended college in San Francisco. His older child, Matthew, died at age 21 more than 13 years ago. His daughter, Sarah, lives and works in the Bay Area.
Traveling, reading (particularly theology, history, and biography) and watching movies are among Mark’s interests.
