You may call me Pastor Cass. I was called to serve at Trinity in 2010 from St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church in Kailua, Hawaii, where I had been the Rector since 1998. In my 12 years there, I oversaw a doubling of membership and an expansion of ministry to include a homeless shelter and a children’s community chorus. I'm pleased to say that the model of spiritual formation we used for developing Christians became the model for the Diocese of Hawaii. I have also served parishes in Hartford and New Haven, Connecticut.

I completed my undergraduate education at Amherst College in Massachusetts and graduated from the Berkeley Divinity School and Yale Divinity School at Yale University. I also hold a certificate in advanced church leadership from Asbury Seminary in Lexington, Kentucky.

My wife, Patricia, completed her undergraduate education as well as a graduate degree in nursing at the University of Virginia. Tish also has a master's degree in public health and a doctorate in clinical psychology. We have four adopted children (two daughters and two sons), and you will also find our grandson, and maybe one or two foster children, living with us from time to time.
