Clergy Representative Candidate

The Rev. Janine Schenone

Janine arrived in May of 2024 to begin serving as the rector of St. John’s in Boulder. Previously, she served as the rector of Good Samaritan Episcopal Church in San Diego for eight years, where she also served on the diocesan Executive Council, Standing Committee, Bishop Search Committee, and Advocacy Committee. Before that, she served for two and a half years as the Senior Associate for Congregational Development at All Saints Church in Pasadena, CA. Janine enjoys hiking, cycling, playing the piano, reading, and exploring the state of Colorado, especially its mountains.

Lay Representative Candidate

Jan Friedlund, St Paul’s Fort Collins

Some of us claim to be cradle Episcopalians and Jan adds being a gypsy Episcopalian, having worshipped in and served her beloved church in many places around the country. That includes serving on the vestry in 3 churches and senior warden in 2 of them. Her background includes being a non-traditional student, graduating at the age of 46 from the University of Denver College of Law with a master’s degree that combined law and public administration. She was Division Manager of the US District Court in Tucson AZ and moved to Jackson WY to become the County Manager of Teton County, retiring for the first time in 2009.
She joined her late husband as a law firm consultant and then founder and principal of Elder Law College. As a failure at retirement, she is currently working in an administrative position at CSU and loving it. After moving to Fort Collins to be with her family, she settled into St. Paul’s and has been honored to serve as senior warden and a member of the 301 Faith Partnership leadership team. Jan’s hobbies include watercolor painting, reading, walking, and hanging out with her wonderful son and his wife and two amazing adult grandchildren.
