FT Rector/Dean | Cathedral Church of St. Paul, Fond du Lac, WI
The Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, seeks a faithful, relational, and collaborative priest to serve as its next rector and dean. Rooted in more than 150 years of Anglo-Catholic tradition, St. Paul’s is a welcoming, Christ-centered congregation where beautiful worship, fellowship, and service are central to parish life.
Worship centers on participatory Anglo-Catholic liturgy, with Sunday Mass and a weekly healing Mass. The congregation values reverent worship, sacred music, and the beauty of its historic Cathedral, while also looking toward renewed growth and deeper engagement with the wider community.
St. Paul’s has experienced encouraging growth, with average Sunday attendance rising from 34 to 50 and young families and children once again becoming part of parish life. Its outreach includes the Broken Bread Food Pantry, community meal partnerships, recovery groups, neighborhood events, concerts, and the beloved Mouse Factory ministry.
The congregation seeks a rector/dean who is approachable, pastorally grounded, and collaborative; who can inspire through preaching and teaching; strengthen Christian formation and lay leadership; support continued growth; and help the parish connect more intentionally with its diverse neighborhood. As dean of one of the Diocese of Wisconsin’s three historic cathedrals, the priest will also collaborate with the Bishop and fellow cathedral deans in diocesan ministry.

Worshiping in a beautifully restored historic sanctuary, the parish is known for its warmth, resilience, and life together grounded in Scripture and Sacrament.
Parish life centers on Sunday Eucharist with active lay leadership and music that blends traditional hymns with contemporary praise. Fellowship is strong and relational, shaped by shared meals, seasonal gatherings, and a genuine sense that every person and every gift matters. Christ Church is deeply engaged in its community through ministries such as the Inspired Reflections Art Show, All Hallows Eve hospitality during Delavan’s Halloween parade, food and shelter partnerships, and monthly free meals offered in collaboration with other area churches.
Christ Church seeks a rector who preaches with clarity and care, supports vibrant worship and outreach, and enjoys the gifts of a small parish where close relationships and shared ministry shape faithful life. Delavan offers small-town charm with easy access to Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago, and nearby colleges. Together, this congregation is eager to listen for what God is calling them to next.
