Having taught Godly Play with children and adults since 2017, he loves imaginatively entering the stories of our faith and teaching others to do the same. Andrew received his Master of Divinity degree from the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He is currently completing a Master’s of Sacred Theology at Chicago Theological Seminary and discerning a call to ordained ministry.

About St. Mary’s

Saint Mary’s is a multi-generational, family-friendly parish located near the Newton-Wellesley border in eastern Massachusetts, drawing members from surrounding communities including Weston, Sudbury, and beyond. We celebrate traditional Episcopal services in a relaxed atmosphere, complemented by strong music and youth Christian education programs. We also emphasize outreach to worthy causes our members feel strongly about, with initiatives in the local community as well as nationally and internationally.

Our church building and adjacent graveyard are over two hundred years old – we celebrated our 200th anniversary in 2013 – and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Its physical beauty adds to our worship experience and our sense of community. More importantly, it reminds us that we are part of a heritage that goes back over two hundred years, and of a larger community that goes back nearly two thousand years.

We invite you to explore this site, as well as to visit our church, meet our people and learn more about our community.
