Directors of Fessenden House
Honorary President
The Right Reverend
Catherine S. Roskam, Bishop Suffragan
Diocese of New York,
Region 2
It was an historic moment on
January 27, 1996, when the Rev. Catherine S. Roskam became a
Bishop in the Episcopal Church. In an elaborate consecration
ceremony held at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine,
Catherine Roskam became the first female to ever become bishop
in the State of New York and only the fourth female bishop in
the Episcopal Church in the USA.
Thousands of Episcopalians, and hundreds of visitors from other
denominations, including Roman Catholic, Lutheran, and
Methodist, packed the Cathedral to witness her consecration. The
ceremony was presided over by the Rt. Rev. Edmond Browning, then
Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church. An estimated 3,500
people attended the service, including Bishops from around the
world and parishioners from the 200 Episcopal congregations in
New York. The service featured commissioned music and
traditional hymns in English, Spanish, and Chinese reflecting
the rich diversity of the Episcopal Diocese of New York.
Prior to becoming a priest, Catherine Roskam worked in theater
as an actress and a producer in New York. Ordained priest in
1984 in the Episcopal Diocese of New York, she served as
Assistant Rector of Holy Apostles, Manhattan, where she was in
charge of pastoral ministries, and as Program Director of Holy
Apostles Soup Kitchen. Other previous positions include
Priest-in-charge of Holy Innocents' mission congregation in San
Francisco, Interim Rector of Church of Our Savior, Mill Valley,
California, and Diocesan Missioner for the Diocese of California
where she had oversight of 24 congregations.
Bishop Roskam is a member the ECUSA Executive Council
(2000-2006), the Anglican Consultative Council (2001-2010), the
Board of Trustees of General Theological Seminary (Vice Chair
2001-02) and the House of Bishops Theology Committee. Bishop
Roskam is a nationally known consultant on church growth and
congregational development, and also in multi cultural ministry
Bishop Roskam served as President
of the Board of Directors of Fessenden Supportive Housing, Inc.
in 2000 and 2001. This was a critical time in the development
of this ministry. Since Fessenden House had not yet been
incorporated or received its not-for-profit status, Bishop
Roskam arranged to have the Diocese of New York serve as a
"pass-through" for donations made to Fessenden House. This
allowed the ministry to raise the funds needed to continue
operating during this critical time of transition.
Youth ministry is an area of special interest, and she has
particular expertise in Language Ministries - ministries serving
Asian, Hispanic and Island congregations. She is also a member
of Integrity, the National Gay and Lesbian organization of the
Episcopal Church.
Bishop Roskam has been married for 32 years to psychologist
Philip K. Roskam. They have one daughter, Gemma.
