Reverend Garron Daniels Becomes Priest in Charge at Alton Parish

ALTON - The Reverend Garron C. Daniels, OCS, is the new Priest in Charge of the Episcopal Parish of Alton.

The Episcopal Parish members said they are excited he will be the person taking over at their historic church.

Father Garron previously served as the Curate at St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Missouri and has served as a PRN Chaplain at St. Louis Children’s Hospital.

Father Garron attended Truman State University in Kirksville, MO., receiving a Bachelor’s of Science in Justice Systems, Magna Cum Laude. He went on to study for his Masters of Divinity at the University of the South: School of Theology.

In 2022, he was a recipient of the Griffin Fellowship and partook in ministry formation in the Holy Land at St. George’s College. Fr. Garron is passionate about a number of topics, but is especially passionate about Death & Dying, Christian Formation, and the Liturgy of the Church; especially the Rite of Reconciliation.
