The Reverend Ann H. Plummer
is 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.
Mother Ann 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.
