In memoriam to Mother Ann Plummer

Below we offer the profile of our recently deceased priest-in-charge as an acknowledgement of her nurturing ministry to our parish. 7/27/09

*************************************************************************************

The Reverend Ann H. Plummer was our priest in charge. Mother Ann grew up just north of New York City in New Rochelle, and attended the Rye Country Day School and Vassar College. After graduation she worked in New York City in the college department of the National Council of Churches. In 1962 she married Hu Plummer and moved to Port Washington, on the north shore of Nassau County.

While her three children were growing up, she spent many hours at St. Stephen’s in Port Washington, doing most of the things that a lay person can do in a parish: lay reader and eucharistic minister, Altar Guild member, Bible Study leader, newsletter editor, fair chairman and Church School teacher. In addition, she directed a three-church ecumenical Vacation Bible School.

She graduated from the Mercer School of Theology in Garden City in 1990. The following year, she began part-time study at The General Theological Seminary in New York City and received the degree of Master of Sacred Theology in 1996. Mother Ann was ordained to the diaconate in 1990 and to the priesthood in 1991. As a seminarian, she did fieldwork at Holy Trinity, Hicksville and at Christ Church, Oyster Bay. After her ordination, she remained at Oyster Bay as the associate. From there she went as Interim to St. Patrick’s, Deer Park, back to St. Stephen’s, to St. Ann’s, Bridgehampton, and then to St. Jude’s, Wantagh.

January 2010 Our supply priest is the Canon Edward A. Wisbauer Jr. who is a familiar and well beloved priest at All Souls'. We are proud that the Village Times Herald named Fr. Wisbuaer as man of the year in religion! See the related article.

Fr. Ed and the congregation at All Souls welcome all visitors and invite you to join our small but growing congregation.

We are an eclectic group consisting of young families, retirees, college students and faculty, “old timers”, brand new Episcopalians, and a number of former Roman Catholics. We’ve all found a home at All Souls and we invite you to visit.
