Acting Pastor -
Rev. Elaine S. Gaetani
The Reverend Elaine S. Gaetani
came to us in the autumn of 2005, initially serving as our Interim
Associate Pastor. Until the recent retirement of Rev. Paul Thomas,
she served as our settled Associate Pastor. Elaine brings with her
over twenty years of experience as a Retreat Leader in Spirituality and
over 12 year as an Ordained Minister.
A Graduate of Boston College
with a Masters in Pastoral Ministry, she began her ministry in the
mid-eighties serving as both a spiritual director and retreat/workshop
leader. Her call for Ordained Ministry was both persistent and
consistent and she graduated with a Master of Divinity from Andover
Newton Theological Seminary (ANTS) in 1997 and was ordained to the
Christian ministry through the Metropolitan Boston Association of the
UCC in 1998.
She brings with her a
particular passion for the inner life, as it is expressed in outer works
of ministry. Areas of interest are feminist spirituality, dream
work, community building, prayer and meditation and adult
education. She has found a home in our Westborough Congregation
and is "moved daily by the faithful, loving, compassionate and
caring community here, one that is so alive and well with the Love of
Christ." |
