The Rev. Lesser left in November, 1962. The Rev. Charles
Erickson was made vicar then. He and his wife bought the
vicarage in September, 1975.
In July, 1977, the last payment was made on the mortgage
of the church buildings and on January 15, 1978 the Rev.
Charles Erickson and the Right Rev. C. Kilmer Myers (then
Bishop of California) burned the mortgage.
St. Peter's by-the-Sea became a parish in the Diocese of
California.
The porch canopy was added and the commemorative
stained glass panels were added later. An opportunity
arose to purchase two dwellings and a storage building that
backed up to the parish property and fronted Napa Avenue.
Church members subscribed to sufficient loans to
purchase the property.
The Reverend Erickson retired and, after a search process,
the parish called the Reverend Joseph Patronik who
became the second rector in January, 1992. He served
until March of 1994.
After a prolonged search with a lot of time devoted to
determining the wishes of the parishoners, St. Peter's
called the Reverend Harriet B. Linville. She commenced
her service on February 25, 1996.
