Incumbent: The Rev'd Grace Burson (she/her)
The Rev’d Grace Pritchard Burson was born and raised in New Haven, Connecticut. She received her BA in English and Classics in 2000 from Williams College in Massachusetts, and her Master of Divinity degree in 2004 from Yale Divinity School. She also earned an Anglican Diploma from Berkeley Divinity School and a Certificate in Liturgical Studies from the Yale Institute of Sacred Music. (This wasn’t actually nearly as much work as it sounds like, but the framed documents sure look fancy on her office wall.) She was ordained deacon in 2008 in the Diocese of Connecticut, and priest in 2009 by the Right Rev’d V. Gene Robinson, then bishop of New Hampshire (on behalf of the Bishop of Connecticut). She served three parishes in New Hampshire between 2009 and 2018 before moving to Montreal to become the Incumbent at All Saints’. She also serves as Warden of Lay Readers for the Anglican Diocese of Montreal. Grace is a certified birth doula and has written a musical, The Perilous Gard. Her writing has been published by Forward Movement, Earth & Altar, Young Clergy Women International, and in various periodicals. She is a voracious reader and enjoys choral singing, horseback riding, sailing, and gardening. On her sabbatical in 2023, she walked the St. Olav pilgrim trail in Norway and rode the Camino de Santiago (Portugués route) on horseback. Grace lives in Lachine, a block from the St. Lawrence River, with her son Peter, who was born in 2008.
