D’Angio White, 32, celebrated his first Sunday with the people of St. David’s on Dec. 4.
He comes to Maine from Newark, N.Y., east of Rochester, where he served as Rector for the Northeast Partners in Episcopal Ministry (NPEM), a cluster of three congregations (plus a summer chapel) that share clergy leadership.
During his tenure, NPEM was recognized for their contributions to the farmworker community by Rural and Migrant Ministry, a New York-based service and advocacy group.
“I am thrilled to be joining the people of Saint David’s and to be starting a new chapter together”, said D’Angio White. “Saint David’s is a vibrant community dedicated to sharing the Gospel and I’m honored to serve with them.”
D’Angio White was chosen to lead the congregation after a 24-month process of discernment led by lay members.
Warden Bruce Brauninger said, “Father Andrew is a collaborative leader, well spoken, a good listener, and brings a lot of energy to St. David’s. We are excited to have him lead our parish.”
Members of the community are welcome to gather for the installation as the church marks the celebration of D’Angio White’s new role with the church.
The Rev. Canon Michael Ambler, representing the Episcopal Diocese of Maine, will officiate. The Rev. Jennifer Zogg, rector of the Church of the Epiphany in Rumford, RI, will preach.
All are invited to the reception after the service.
In addition to their new priest, St. David’s welcomes his wife, the Rev. Sara D’Angio White, and their young children, Maggie and Charlie.
St. David’s Episcopal Church is at 138 York Street (Route 1 South) in Kennebunk. For more information, call the church office at 985-3073 or visit www.stdavidskennebunk.org.
