About the Rev. Andrew Garnett
A native of East Norwich, Father Garnett began discerning a call to ordained ministry in high school. He began his formation at the undergraduate Cathedral Seminary Residence in Douglaston, Queens. He continued his education at the Theological College at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. and was selected to attend the Pontifical North American College in Rome. He was ordained a deacon in the Roman Catholic Church in 2014 and priest in 2015. He holds a graduate degree in philosophy from the Catholic University of America with his thesis entitled “Friendship in Plato’s Lysis” and in theology from the Gregorian University in Rome. He did post-graduate work in moral theology at the Academia Alfonsiana, focusing on end-of-life Ethics.
Fr. Garnett received formation in the Anglican tradition at the Mercer School of Theology and was received into the Episcopal Church as a priest in 2022. He has also worked as an adjunct professor in philosophy and theology at several colleges in the area. He was recently elected rector of Trinity Episcopal Church.
Fr. Garnett lives with his wife, Lauren, three-and-a-half-year-old twins, Miles and Scarlett, one-and-a-half-year-old son, Roman, and dog, Willow. In addition to serving the people of Northport, he serves as Chaplain for the East Norwich Fire Company and is on the Board of Trustees for the Mercer School of Theology. He is an avid fan of the New York Mets, the New York Giants, the New Jersey Devils, and Sunderland AFC, and is the head coach of the “Purple Team” for Tee Ball.
