The Rev. Jenny Owen joined St. Augustine’s as their Rector in December 2018. Prior to moving to Croton-on-Hudson, Jenny was the Associate to the Rector at Christ Church Greenwich in Connecticut. Jenny is passionate about building up communities of faith to discover how they can be faithful disciples of Christ. She particularly enjoys doing this through preaching, leading worship, engaging in meaningful outreach and connecting through Christian fellowship. Prior to attending seminary at Berkeley Divinity School at Yale, Jenny worked in government relations in New York and received two degrees in European Politics and Policy from New York University. Jenny shares a passion for racial justice with her husband Sam, who is the Priest-in-Charge of a Haitian congregation in the Bronx. They have two children, Martin and Andrew, a dog, Cookie, and a cat, Sparkles.
