Guest Speaker

The Rev. Dr. Lisa Barrowclough
Lisa Barrowclough serves as Chaplain at Beauvoir, The National Cathedral Elementary School in Washington, DC, and is the inaugural Dean of School Chaplains for the Diocese of Washington. Originally from Canada, she felt called early in life to both teaching and the priesthood. After serving in parish ministry, Lisa found her vocational home in Episcopal school chaplaincy—a role she has embraced since moving to the U.S. in 2003.

With more than 20 years of experience, Lisa is passionate about nurturing the faith and potential of young people, supporting faculty and staff, and walking alongside families in both joyful and challenging moments. She brings a wealth of experience and insight into how children’s formation shapes the life and mission of the Church.
