Rev. Richard Thompson

I grew up in Bellevue and was a Bulldog football player. I am a veteran of the US Army Airborne where I served for six years. I come to our group from Butler County, and previously served the southern end of our diocese in Greene County. In addition to being pastor of St. Ann in Waynesburg, for six years I was the director of the Newman Club at Waynesburg University and chaplain to Waynesburg Hospital and Greene County Jail. I enjoy the great outdoors and fly fishing. I have a Golden Retriever named “Honey” and used to raise Retrievers.
