Clergy
Father Nicholas Hatt, Rector
Father Nicholas Hatt is a descendant of the German Protestants who founded Saint George’s in the 1750s. He was raised at Saint Stephen's Church in Chester, Nova Scotia and came to Saint George's in 2018. Prior to this, he was Rector of the Church of the Holy Spirit in Mount Uniacke, Nova Scotia and Dean of Students at the University of King's College. When not in the parish, he can often be found walking in the forest on his family's ancestral woodlands on the South Shore of the province. He is convinced that the sacred rhythm of the Book of Common Prayer can be healing for people from many different walks of life. He continues to discover the depth and richness of its monastic tradition.
