Mary Swann is a Vocational Deacon licensed in the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic. She is currently “retired” from having an active assignment to a parish but is authorized to serve in diaconal ministry. Mary was ordained in 2006 in California (Diocese of San Joaquin). Her spiritual life has taken many turns, eventually leading her back to her Christian worldview.

She is a Virginia native who grew up in Petersburg and Norfolk. She returned to her roots in VA in 2009, where she lived on the Rappahannock River and served at Light of Christ Anglican Church in Heathsville. She relocated to Williamsburg in November 2022 and began attending Incarnation. Mary loves working with small groups of individuals who seek a stronger and more meaningful relationship with Jesus. Most of her ministry within the church has centered around women’s ministry and care of the elderly.
