 St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Mamaroneck has retained The Rev. Will Fisher as Associate Minister for Youth. He will be serving the parish along with Rector Deborah Tammearu and Deacon Lynn Werdal. The addition of Fr. Fisher to the clergy of St. Thomas reflects the recent growth in the number of children and young families joining St. Thomas parish. Fr. Fisher, a graduate of Brown University who received his Masters in Divinity at the General Theological Seminary in New York City, was previously the Associate Rector and Youth Minister for St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Encinita, California. At St. Thomas, Fr. Fisher will preach as well as coordinate activities and education for youth and families in the parish. He will share in the pastoral care of St. Thomas, and Pastor Deborah Tammearu says she “… is delighted to have Fr. Fisher as her newest colleague on staff.”
