About Us
A Word about St Christopher’s Priest in charge
Pastor Willie Allen-Faiella
Reverend Willie grew up in the Washington, DC area. Before coming to Miami in 2001 to serve as rector of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church and Day School in Coconut Grove, Rev Willie served as the assistant rector of Immanuel Church-on-the-Hill in Alexandria, Virginia, and as rector (for ten years) of Trinity Church, Gulph Mills in suburban Philadelphia. She retired from St. Stephen’s in March 2023.
Rev Willie looks forward to being with the St. Christopher’s community where she will be serving as part-time Priest in Charge. In addition to Sunday services she will be in the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (which includes the Wednesday school service). Please stop by the office any time and introduce yourself.
