Mother Mary+ joined the spiritual journey of St. John's Episcopal Church in late July 2012, after having served as chaplain both in Westchester and Dutchess County hospitals for 15 years and at the World Trade Center Disaster site in 2001-2002.
Prior to receiving her call to St. John's, Mother Mary+ served at St. Margaret's in Staatsburg, NY, St. John's in the Village, NY, and Christ Church, Poughkeepsie, NY. In life before ordination, Mother Mary+ was deeply involved in church music, both performing in and leading choirs in the greater Poughkeepsie area. As well as in the contracting business as a Kitchen Designer and Project Manager.
Educated at Westminster Choir College, Empire State College, and General Theological Seminary, Mother Mary+ brings a wide variety of creative, business, and theological skills to the work of Christ at St. John's.
