Pastor at Wethersfield’s Trinity Episcopal Church focused on service at home and abroad

From Conneticut-

When Rev. Tom Furrer isn’t working on Trinity Episcopal Church in Wethersfield’s many community projects, he’s raising money to fund medical clinics in Nigeria.

Furrer, who was named pastor in January, served for many years at a different Trinity Church, located in the Tariffville section of Simsbury. In 2016, he retired to focus on his nonprofit organization, Kateri Medical Services, which runs five clinics in areas of Nigeria where people don’t have access to medical services.

Furrer will work part-time at the church so he can continue to focus on his mission work. His dedication to serving others fits in perfectly with his new church, he said.

“One of the things I love about this parish is the servant hearts of so many people here. Even though it is a relatively small parish, they have great energy for helping people in need, both locally and around the world,” Furrer said.
