Father Andrew grew up in Shrewsbury, where he currently lives with his wife Karen, their children James, Rachel and Stephen, and their two dogs, Millie and Maggie. Father Carlson graduated with a BA from Trinity College, Hartford and a Master of Divinity from Yale University and Berkeley Divinity School. Fr. Andrew has also worked as a master’s psychologist for 20 years, with a specialization in emergency psychology. Recently he has stepped back from secular mental health care with an eye to figuring out combining it better with his Christian vocation. He remains involved in the community and runs groups for various organizations. In addition to pastoring in Marlborough at Holy Trinity (52 Church St and 469 Lincoln St.), he also works with Fr. Ron Wheelock and the Holy Trinity Attleboro Fellowship. Fr. Andrew is also the enthusiastic co-leader of the Holy Trinity Youth Group (with Karen Cummins). Together, they provide amazing Saturday afternoons of fun, fellowship and exploration in “becoming Christian adults.” Fr. Andrew has served on various church committees, including Capital Campaign, Growth and Business Planning. He has also been known to chant and sub in the choir at times. Someday, when he magically frees up a lot of free time, he looks forward to returning to his love of singing bass/baritone in
a capella groups and choirs.

Father Chris is a native of Massachusetts and a graduate of Gordon-Conwell
Theological Seminary where he focused in Christian Education. He joined our church
family in the spring of 2006 where he served as a seminarian intern. As a believer in the
Catholic faith of God’s Holy Word he has been blessed to serve as the vice president
of the New England Chapter of Forward in Faith North America.

For the last five years he has been actively involved in outreach to the military where he
has served at Fort Lewis, WA, Schofield Army Barracks, HI, and locally at Hanscom
Air Force base. In 2010, he joined Campus Crusade for Christ: Military Ministry. It is his desire to continue to work with chaplains to reach servicemen for Christ.

Father Chris functions as Chaplain to Military Personnel and to our Veterans here in MA.
He currently serves as assisting priest and pastor at St. Brigid of Kildare Anglican Mission in Medway.

Father Bruce, a retired general surgeon (Newton-Wellesley Hospital) came to the Anglican priesthood quite late in life. He graduated from Trinity College and Tufts University School of Medicine and trained for five years at Boston City Hospital. Then following forty years of surgical practice in Needham and Newton, he changed gears and entered Trinity School for Ministry in Ambridge PA from which he graduated with an MAM in 2011. He was ordained a Deacon in that year and a priest in 2012. His activities include especially pastoral visiting and acting as an adviser where appropriate in medical situations for the parish. This includes accompanying folks to doctor visits and the like. In addition he is active at both the main church and at the French Hill chapel. Along with his wife Susan he helps greet newcomers and participates in neighborhood prayer walks. Finally, he supports the "McMInistry" where he and often Archdeacon Michael and parishioners visit McDonalds for coffee and interaction with clientele there.

Father Bruce lives in Marlborough. He has three grown daughters and six grandchildren scattered among Medfield, Providence RI and Moorestown NJ.
