St. Matthew’s is served by one full-time priest (when not in transition), a vocational deacon, and three other part-time positions, in addition to the many people who volunteer their time for the church.
Rector
The Rev. Paul Frolick
Paul joined St. Matthew’s on April 16th, 2018 as our new full-time rector. We are so grateful to have him with us, and we look forward to our future under his leadership!
Vocational Deacon
The Rev. Deacon Shelly Banner
Deacon Shelly is a vocational (permanent) deacon who was ordained in 2005 from the first class of deacons and priests that were educated through the CNY Diocesan Formation program. As a non-stipendiary deacon, she is also bi-vocational and teaches music part-time in a parochial school in Oswego .
Passionate about learning, it is never surprising to find her reading in her non-committed time. Equally passionate about gardening, singing, traveling and time spent with friends and family, her idea of a joy filled occasion is when any number of them combine.
Parish Administrator & Communications Coordinator
Sarah Alamond
Sarah runs the parish office and keeps St. Matthew’s organized and running. She is also in charge of all communications related to St. Matthew’s.
Church Musician
Jennifer Bearup
Whether with the organ, the piano or directing the choir, Jennifer uses her talent to make beautiful music for our congregation every Sunday.
Sexton
Bill Boylan
Bill keeps St. Matthew’s looking good. In addition to performing regular cleaning, Bill also sets up the parish hall for various activities.
