The Rev. Nick Lorenzetti
Fr. Nick Lorenzetti has had a long and diverse history of multi-faceted service both as a priest and educator. He entered the seminary fresh out of high school, and studied for 8 years as required by the Roman Catholic Church. During that time he earned a BA in Language Arts from the University of Scranton, a M. Div. from St. Joseph’s Seminary in NYC, and an MS in Education from the University of Scranton. Subsequent to his ordination, he earned a doctoral degree from Columbia University in Secondary School Education. Part of his 16 years of priestly ministry in the Roman Church was spent in former churches in Mt. Pocono, Pocono Pines, and Tobyhanna. He taught religion at what formerly was Pocono Catholic High School in Cresco.
Subsequent to leaving the active ministry in the RC diocese of Scranton, he spent several years as an administrator in public education in the Cherry Hill, NJ, and Hopewell Valley, NJ, school districts.
After having his orders received by the Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin in central California, Fr. Nick served as the rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church for 9 years.
When it was time to move back to Northeastern PA, he and his husband of 31 years, Wilson Colon, bought a home in Cresco, and began attending Christ Episcopal Church in Stroudsburg. Fr. Nick assisted in celebrating the liturgies, teaching those preparing for Confirmation, and coordinating pastoral care.
Father Nick began his ministry at Trinity Church on October 27, and was immediately embraced by the congregation as an experienced spiritual leader who exudes warmth and compassion.
In addition to his two mixed breed rescue pups, Fr. Nick loves New York City, the theater, traveling, reading, listening to music, gardening, cooking, preparing sermons and being with people.
