Perry Macdonald, Parish Administrator |
A "cradle" Episcopalian, Perry joined St. Anne's in 1992 shortly after moving to Reston with two young sons, Colin (then 5) and Matt (then 3) into their townhouse on Pond View Court. During the school years that followed, all three spent many hours at Reston's soccer fields, basketball courts and swimming pools.
After stints of secondary teaching and university administration, Perry realized a longstanding goal, graduating from Catholic University's Columbus School of Law in 1985. She worked as a corporate attorney for several technology-based companies for almost 20 years. Over the same time period, her volunteer work included the League of Women Voters, a Commissioner for the Reston Soccer Association as well as teaching and outreach at St. Anne's.
Although her work in the office, around the building and assisting the Vestry can keep her busy, Perry still enjoys her own ministries of coordinating the ushers and being on a flower guild team. She is also excited to be in her fourth year of the Education for Ministry (EFM). |
