A few years ago, in the summer of 2008, my husband Stephen died after a prolonged battle with brain cancer.  During our 23 years of marriage, although I was the Catholic and he the Jew, we managed to raise our three children in the most remarkable way - in love and dedication in community, together and steadfastly, attending services and creating ritual, to the point that from the outside you weren't sure who was who: we were an interfaith family!

After his death, I entered seminary training, receiving a Masters in Theology, with an emphasis on Spirituality and Cross Cultural studies, searching for the way to continue my work with The Interfaith Union, though in a transformed way. The circle is now complete, having just completed pastoral education as Chaplain and Minister.

If you are looking for a minister to support and guide you in those conversations prior to your interfaith wedding�to preside at the celebration of your marriage�.or the funeral of a beloved�the celebration of Hebrew Naming and Baptism, I am glad you found us.  

In peace and all good things,
