The Rev. Harold G. Birkenhead
Rector

​The Rev. Harold G. Birkenhead (Father Harry) was called to the Church of the Holy Nativity in March of 2006 and has remained here for what Father Birkenhead says is the thirteen best years of his ministry.

Father Harry was called to the priesthood in the late 1980s. Before that, he was a Soloist in the Choir of All Saints' Church Ashmont before being called to serve in the United States Air Force from 1966-1970. Father Birkenhead returned home becoming a rock musician then joining the Massachusetts State Police. Father lived in Abington with his wife Charlene and attended Bridgewater State College where he earned his degrees in psychology and history. 

In 1981, he and Charlene moved south to Virginia where he could study at Virginia Theological Seminary. After Father Harry's ordination, he was posted to Taunton, followed by a calling to St. Peter's Church in Portland, Maine, where they remained for twelve years. Most recently Father is the author of a book "Investigating Cromwell: In the matter of the Murder of King Charles I". Using his police and psychology background, he ventured on some research of Oliver Cromwell who incarcerated one of Father's ancestors.

Father Harry and his wife Charlene have been married for 37 years. They have four children and two grandchildren and if that doesn't sound busy enough, two dogs.
