Fr. Steve Holton has been at St. Paul's since 1992. He is married, with two boys in the Ossining School System. He values prayer, leadership in worship, preaching a gospel that reaches out and includes all people in the enormous diversity of God's love, and pastoral care to those in need or trouble. He enjoys working with the larger community, helping others make our towns hospitable places for rich and poor, young and old alike. His parish concerns and desires are reflected throughout this website, in worship and Bible Study and shared leadership with the deep array of lay talent St. Paul's is blessed to have. In Ossining he is president and a founder of: · The Ossining Interfaith Youth Corps - youth from all the different congregations in the area - Muslim, Christian, Jewish and Humanist - gathered to lead our community in service and interfaith reflection on how our individual religious values draw us together in care for the world, rather than separating us in partisan divisions. |
