The Rev. Canon Francis N. Hebert

“Father Frank,” has been the rector of Christ Church since March of 2012. Originally from Connecticut, USA, he received a B.Mus. degree in Music Education from Bucknell University and an M.A.LS. degree in Literature and Arts from Wesleyan University. After teaching music, drama, English, and creative writing in private schools for six years, he began his seminary studies at The Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley, California, graduating in 1987 with the M.Div. degree. While a seminary student, he also studied Spanish at the University of California, Berkeley, and later at language school in Cuernavaca, Mexico. His work as priest brought him first to Coronado, California, where he served as curate, then later to New Jersey where he served churches in Wenonah and most recently, in Freehold, before moving to Mexico. Frank has always had a particular interest in the ministry of the global church, and while in Freehold, New Jersey his parish developed a sister relationship with an Episcopal Church in the Dominican Republic. In July of 2011 he was awarded the honorary position of Canon Commissary of the Cathedral Church of the Ascension in Wiawso, Ghana. In his spare time he enjoys music, reading, cooking, and traveling throughout his new home country of Mexico.
