Author name: Kit Lonergan

The Rev. Kit Lonergan is currently serving as Priest for Parish Care at Trinity Church in the City of Boston. She and her husband are parents to a tween and almost-tween, and can anticipate every eye roll they receive. She would love to tell you about her hobbies, but they would currently be listed as: hiding the 'good snacks' from her children; stepping on rogue legos; wondering if there is such a thing as a Taylor Swift overload. Neither crafty nor good with plants, she loves intergenerational ministry, dark humor, dancing in the kitchen with her kids, and pie.
