The Rev. Dr. Matthew R. Scott

We welcomed the Rev. Dr. Matthew R. Scott to St. Paul‘s in January 2025. Matthew and his family join us from Pennsylvania in what will be for him and his spouse, Nancy, a return to their native New England. The Wardens and Vestry are grateful for the faithful work of the Discernment Committee, for the prayers and support of the whole community, and for the work of the Holy Spirit as we look forward to Matthew’s ministry with us.
