The Rev. Christopher P. Leighton
Rector
Father Christopher joined St. Paul’s in October, 1998, as the church’s fourth Rector. He is a native of Boston, Massachusetts, and feels the fulfillment of a lifelong calling in coming “home” to New England to serve, as God revives His church.
A graduate of the first class at Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry in 1979, Fr. Christopher served four churches in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for fifteen years. Most recently, he was Rector of St. James’s Episcopal Church in Cambridge, Mass. from 1994 to 1998.
Fr. Christopher is married to Janet Dorman Leighton. They have four adult children.
