We are blessed to welcome back in our midst The Reverend Anna Horen. In 2015-2016, Anna spent 16 months as a ministry intern, bringing with her the gift of teaching, preaching, and pastoral care. Anna will be with us until she is able to transition to a permanent position elsewhere.
Anna was born and raised in the New York City area by two loving and devout Italian Roman Catholic parents. She felt a call to ordained priestly ministry since childhood. Since it was not possible in her denomination, she pursued other avenues. On her journey towards priesthood in the Episcopal Church she was blessed to garner professional experience and skills in education, high-tech, and lay pastoral ministry. These experiences, along with raising two sons, being in a long-term loving marriage, and surviving breast cancer have formed Anna into the minister and person she is today.
Anna has been married to Bob for 35 years and has two children, Chris and Eric. She is also blessed to have one grandson, Hunter.
“As a newly ordained priest, I am delighted to be returning to St. James’ until I am able to transition to a permanent position elsewhere. I look forward to renewing old relationships as well as getting to know the newer members.”
