The Rev. Jennifer E. Looker, Curate

St. John’s welcomed Pastor Jennifer Looker as its curate in July 2006. As a curate, Jennifer serves full time at St. John’s while continuing to develop her priestly formation through the Diocese of Central Pennsylvania.

Jennifer is a 2005 graduate of the Berkeley Divinity School at Yale University. During the summer of 2004, Jennifer interned at the Amistad Catholic Worker House in New Haven, CT. In 2005, she served as chaplain with the Yale-New Haven Hospital and was affiliated with Christ Episcopal Church, New Haven.  She was ordained to the priesthood September 2006, at St. John’s in Lancaster.

Before entering seminary, Jennifer was Director of Christian Education at Mt. Calvary Episcopal Church, Camp Hill, PA, and also served as Executive Director of the St. Barnabas Center for Ministry in Harrisburg.

A native of Pennsylvania, Jennifer graduated from Shippensburg University in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Education and a double minor in Early Childhood and Music.

Jennifer and her husband Craig Fenn, who is currently pursuing a PhD in Cellular Biology from the Pennsylvania State University Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, recently became parents of daughter Anna Gail.

Jennifer strives for a “relational approach to ministry,” in which she aims to “know and make known the love of Christ with others.”
