Who are we and where are we?
Province VIII of the Brotherhood of Saint Gregory includes the Western United States matching the geography of Province VIII of the Episcopal Church. The Minister Provincial for our province is Brother Karekin Madteos Yarian, BSG who resides in San Francisco, California.

The Province was established in 2002. At present, there are four professed brothers in this province located in the following cities: San Francisco, CA; Irvine, CA; Salem, OR; and two novice brothers located in New York City (as a seminarian at GTS); and San Francisco, CA. Our brothers are engaged in a variety of ministries including traditional parish ministries, teaching ministries and community ministries specific to the particular talents of each brother. BSG is  a particularly well educated bunch who Louis Crew often refers to affectionately as "our wonderful Anglican Jesuits!" Province VIII is no exception with a priest and another candidate for Holy Orders; several writers; and a teacher. How did we get so lucky!

In addition to their ministries, the brothers pray the four hours (Morning, Noon, Evening, and Night) of the Daily Office in keeping with the Rule of the Brotherhood of St. Gregory. The Daily Office can be found online in many places. Our particular favorite is at Oremus.
