Father Tim Dyer, Vicar

Hello, I’m Father Tim Dyer

I am the Vicar (priest or clergy person) at Grace Episcopal Church. I was born and raised in Youngsville, PA. After I graduated from Youngsville High School, I served in the Marine Corps until I was discharged in 1989. I lived in California until I returned home in 1999. I began local formation for the priesthood in 2007 and was ordained to the diaconate in 2015. During which time, I graduated from Clarion University of Pennsylvania. I began attending seminary in 2015 at Church Divinity School of the Pacific, which is an Episcopal seminary located in Berkeley, California. I was ordained to the priesthood in 2016. I graduated from seminary in May 2019. From 2015 until June of 2020 I served as an assistant clergy person for three congregations in The Diocese of Northwestern Pennsylvania. In June of 2020 I was called to be the Vicar at Grace Episcopal Church.

My wife Noreen and I have made Ridgway our home and live here with our dog Sophie (she was sort of a rescue dog and has only three legs). We are excited to be part of the community of Grace Church and Ridgway. We have a blended family of three children and five grandchildren.
