About Us

The Rev. Christopher accepted God’s call to ordained ministry while working in retail in Boston. He holds degrees from Harvard University where he was a Hopkins Shareholder and was awarded the Billings Prize for Preaching. He has served in various capacities in multiple parishes throughout the Diocese of Massachusetts, spent three years as the chaplain at Groton School, and was the Associate Rector of Trinity Church in Concord. Christopher is particularly passionate about liturgy and the ethics of how we pray, working with adolescents, and bringing God’s love to all the parts of our everyday lives. He lives in Cambridge with his loving husband, Jonathan.

When the Rev Ann Perrott joined the St. Peter’s choir over 25 years ago, she had no inkling that God would call her to the priesthood. She earned her MDiv in 2013 at Episcopal Divinity School and was ordained in the Diocese of Connecticut in 2017. A Beverly native, Ann returned to her hometown in 2022 and now serves as a supply priest as well as assisting with Pastoral Care at St. Peter’s. She has also spent twenty years in several prisons in MA and CT facilitating a healing program for incarcerated men. She is a two time cancer survivor, a wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Ann is married to Godfrey Perrott who is quite active at St. Peter’s.

Dr. Kirsten J. Helgeland, Ph.D. conducts the Parish Choir. She also has her own music studio, where she teaches piano and voice.

Kristian LeBlanc is the parish administrator who was called to this role in January 2024, bringing fresh energy and a commitment to enhancing church operations and community outreach. She lives in Salem with her husband, Marc and 2 children, Jacob and Aubrey with their adopted dog, Taiga.
