Fr. Terrence O'Connor, Jr. ("Fr. Terry") first attended St. Mark and All Saints in 2006 and immediately became immersed in the life of the parish, being received into the Episcopal Church shortly thereafter. Fr.

While in seminary, Fr. Terry served in various churches in the Diocese of New Jersey. Fr. Terry was ordained to the Sacred Order of Priests in June, 2015 and has served as supply priest in various parishes, including our parish before being called as Priest-in- Charge officially in the Fall of 2016.
Fr. Terry works as a school administrator while serving as our Priest-in-Charge and has been both a teacher and school administrator for the past 20+ years.
Fr. Terry resides in Atlantic City, NJ with his two precious cats, Gizmo and Jackson. He is thrilled beyond belief to be serving God in the calling that he has realized throughout his entire life. Father believes that he is very blessed to share in ministry at SMAS--his "home" parish!
