About APNET
The Affiliated Parishes of Northeast Texas (APNET) consist of five parishes in the Episcopal Diocese of Dallas that have committed to seek the mutual flourishing of one another’s mission to tell others about Jesus for the glory of God. The representative parishes include St. Francis Episcopal Church (Winnsboro, TX), St. Philip’s Episcopal Church (Sulphur Springs, TX), St. Mark’s/San Marcos Episcopal Church (Mt. Pleasant, TX), St. William Laud’s Episcopal Church (Pittsburg, TX), under the direction of the Rt. Rev. Fraser Lawton of the Church of St. Dunstan (Mineola, TX), Assisting Bishop of the Diocese of Dallas.
