Prior to being called into ministry, Pastor Kathy worked in nonprofit management and education for almost two decades. She is also the mother of three wonderful grown children.

She has lived in New England for her entire adult life and has been in New Hampshire since 1997. Pastor Kathy is an avid knitter and has a wide range of reading interests from literary fiction to speculative fiction, from theology to how the world works. She loves the contemplative nature of walking, and in 2016 completed the 500-mile Camino Frances pilgrimage across Northern Spain.

Rev. George Swenson
George Swenson is a 2024 graduate of the Episcopal Church of New Hampshire School for Ministry and transitional deacon. Raised in a family that had no formal religious affiliation, George found the Episcopal Church in his early 20’s and has found it to be a great spiritual home for him.
He graduated from SNHU with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and spent eight years selling property and casualty insurance. During his studies at the School for Ministry, he spent a year and a half at St. Andrew’s Hopkinton as an intern and has absolutely loved getting to preach and help with pastoral care and formation programs. This work led him down the path to working full time in ministry between his work here at Good Shepherd and the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire. He has also been an active volunteer with the New Hampshire Teen Institute for over a decade helping to facilitate a summer leadership camp for high school students in the state.
George grew up in Merrimack, New Hampshire and then moved to Concord where he now resides with his husband and their many animals. He likes to spend his free time either playing video games, watching the latest Marvel movies or getting outside for hike and some nature photography.
