Episode notes
Fr. Roy was ordained to the priesthood in 1977 after graduating from Nashota House Seminary. He grew up at St. Michael’s Episcopal Church in Colonie, New York, and spent the early years of his ordained ministry serving first as curate at St. Stephens in Delmar for two years, and then at Christ and St. John’s in Rouses Point, before accepting a call to serve at St. Francis Church in northern Michigan. He served there as rector for 14 years. In 1994, Fr. Roy accepted a call to “come home” to New York and serve at Christ Church in Ballston Spa. Fr. Roy serves our parish in countless ways, leading and shepherding with deep love and grace. When not at church, he enjoys fishing, reading, and boating. He and his wife Cathy have ten children between them and four beautiful grandchildren.
