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."
