St. Peter’s rector finds new home in Rome


From Rome-

Fr. John Foster Herring has led a dynamic life of priesthood, having once harvested crops on a New Jersey farm in his younger years and eventually ministering to the homeless on the steps of All Saints Episcopal Church in Atlanta.

The new rector at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church began his ministry in Rome on Aug. 19. Herring said he, his wife Keri and their three children, 8-year-old Amelia, 6-year-old Madeline and 4-year-old Lucas, are happy to be welcomed into the Rome community.

“We’re really excited to be here and really excited to join the St. Peter’s family,” Herring said. “It’s a beautiful church with wonderful people and we’re particularly excited about being in Rome, at a place where people care about their town and have a lot invested in their town. That’s very appealing.”

The son of an Episcopal clergyman, Herring grew up in New Jersey where his father served several parishes both in urban and rural areas.
