Sully **Reverend Father Sully Guillaume-Sam** is a devoted husband, father of three sons, and a priest in the Episcopal \/ Anglican Church. Born and raised in Haiti, West Indies, he attended school and received two Bachelor's degrees: one in Theology from the Roman Catholic Seminary (Grand Seminaire Notre Dame) and the other in Sociology from the State University of Haiti. Fr. Sully firmly believes in the benefits of education, using any opportunity to encourage young people to remain in school and obtain college degrees that will equip them in serving others. In 2002, as a Roman Catholic priest, Fr. Sully immigrated to the United States to further his studies. He earned a MA in Religious Studies from Fordham University, NY, and a MS in Leadership from Duquesne University, PA. In 2010, he left the Roman Catholic Church to continue in ministry as an Episcopal priest. --- #### Celebrating 25 Years of Ministry June 2024 marks Fr. Sully's 25th anniversary in the priesthood. During his first ten years of ministry, he served as a Roman Catholic missionary. For the past fifteen years, he has served as an Episcopal parish priest. For the past eleven years, Fr. Sully has pastored the congregation of St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Bushwick, NY, as its ninth rector. He is dedicated to fostering better relationships and partnerships between his local church and its neighboring community of Bushwick. --- #### Multilingual and Multicultural Ministry Fr. Sully is fluent in Haitian Creole, French, and English and has extensive experience working with and ministering to people from diverse backgrounds. The Church of St. Thomas, where he is the chief pastor, is home to people from nineteen different countries and cultural backgrounds. In his leisure, he enjoys traveling, meeting, and learning from people of other cultures. Having visited close to twenty different countries so far, he looks forward to visiting more. Fr. Sully believes that regardless of our differences, there are many areas of life where we all can connect, understand each other, agree, work, and build together.
