The Rev. Deacon Carey Connors is a Deacon in the Diocese of Virginia and is currently in the process for ordination to the priesthood and is in her second year at Virginia Theological Seminary. Carey will be at St Peter’s for this school year as a seminarian. Carey brings many years of experience to our congregation. During her time as a deacon at St George’s in Fredericksburg, Carey was instrumental in starting The Table, a market style food distribution that is open every Tuesday to those in need in the Fredericksburg area. She also worked at empowering youth and women at St. George’s At St Peter’s, Carey will spend time in conversation with Catherine and with a lay committee whose members include Cookie and Johnny Davis and Helmut Linne von Berg. She will be assisting on two Sundays a month and preaching periodically as she learns about life at St Peter’s.
She will bring her knowledge and experience to our congregation while learning more about planning liturgy and leadership from the perspective of the priesthood. Carey is looking forward to being part of a small congregation, and learning how we have put together our community, since most of her time both as a lay person and as a Deacon has been spent in large churches. On the other two Sundays of the month that she is not with us, Carey will be working with the homeless population in Fredericksburg, exploring with them the possibility of creating a new congregation. Currently, a group is meeting with her for Bible Study.
