The Rev. Paige Alvarez Hanks

Priest for Pastoral Care

I am a lifelong Episcopalian and I love being part of the family of Good Shepherd. Being your priest is a gift, and I believe that our mutual ministry serves the church and God’s people in profound and life-changing ways. I am passionate about pastoral care, empowering lay people as ministers of the church, and worshipping with fidelity in ways that draws us closer to being the people God loves and calls us to be. I am a native Floridian although I have spent more than half of my adult life living as a Texan as well. Before seminary, I was a school principal – and I find that these two vocational careers have many common responsibilities. I have served the church in Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Hawai’i, and Oklahoma City, but feel grounded and at home with our parish community. My spouse David and I travel back and forth to Florida where our daughter resides and escape the summer heat at our home in Maine to rest and recharge.
