RECTOR
The Very Reverend Tom Malionek joined us as our 23rd Rector on November 23, 2014, coming to us from All Saints Church in Chevy Chase, Maryland (close to Washington, D.C.), where he served as Associate Rector for five years. Ordained by Bishop Love to the Diaconate in 2009 and to the Priesthood for the Diocese of Albany in 2010, the value Father Tom places on Anglo-Catholic worship and theology is complemented by his deep roots in the charismatic renewal and his profound appreciation for the theological and liturgical traditions of the whole church, including the Orthodox churches and other Eastern Christians. He serves as Dean of the Hudson Valley and as President of the Standing Committee of the Diocese of Albany. He is much in demand as a speaker, spiritual director, and consultant on healthy congregational dynamics. DEACON

As a Deacon at The Cathedral of All Saints, Deacon Erickson’s ministry passions include liturgy, serving at nursing homes, ministering to volunteer fireman and functioning as Chaplain to the Altar Guild. Deacon Erickson completed The Episcopal Diocese of Albany’s Diaconal Formation Program in 2007 and holds an Associate Degree in Art from Columbia-Greene Community College, an Associate Degree in Science from Columbia-Greene Community College, an Associate Degree in Applied Science from Maria College, and is a Certified Occupation Therapist.
