The Parish Staff

The Rev'd Fr Dwight Douglass Duncan, ssc, Rector
Fr Duncan hails from the state of Virginia where he began his ordained ministry in 1971. He and his wife, Jean, married in 1969, have two sons and two granddaughters. He's been Rector of St Matthias' since 1977, and says that while he has experienced every emotion in the book while being the head of this family, he's NEVER been bored! His gratitude to God for being part of St Matthias' overflows. Go here for sermons by Fr Duncan.

 

Mrs Arlene Dagadu, Parish Administrator
A native of St Vincent, West Indies, fluent in French and Spanish, Mrs Dagadu began her ministry with us in Fall, 1997. Her reputation as an exceptional administrator has certainly been proved among us. Her organizational skills, discipline, imperturbability, attention to detail, and ability to multi-task, combined with her graciousness and kindness, make for a well-ordered, well-run, and happy parish administration.

Mrs Annette Holm Smith, Parish Musician
Mrs Smith began her ministry with us in August 2006. Her over thirty years of training and experience include several long-term parish musicianships and an ongoing teaching career both in private schools and her own studio. All this have made her both a highly accomplished and highly regarded church musician. What with her musical gifts, and her energy, verve, and delightful personality, she is a great addition to the parish ministerial staff.
