Winnie Smith Cavanugh joins us after nearly two years as Associate Rector at Church of the Redeemer in Bryn Mawr, PA. A graduate of Sewanee: the University of the South and Virginia Theological Seminary, she is no stranger to the DC area having worked at United Way Worldwide in Alexandria for several years before discerning a call to the priesthood and beginning her seminary studies in 2019.
Winnie served as Director of Youth Ministries at St. Luke’s Church in Darien, CT immediately after college, and continues to love working with young people. At Redeemer, she oversaw formation for all ages and she looks forward to getting to know parishioners of every age here at Christ Church!
While studying at VTS, Winnie met her now-husband, Paddy Cavanaugh, who serves as Associate Rector at St. George’s Church in Arlington. When not at church, they love traveling to visit family in the mountains of Virginia (Winnie’s) and on the North Carolina coast (Paddy’s).
