The Rev. R. Casey Shobe - Rector
Casey was born in Virginia but was raised in central Texas, where his family still lives. After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin in 2000, he hiked over 1000 miles of the Appalachian Trail before returning to Texas to attend the University of Texas School of Law. A one year stint in law school ended when he recognized God's call for him to pursue Holy Orders. He attended Virginia Theological Seminary, where he met his wife, Melody. They married after their second year in seminary, and now have a two-year old daughter, Isabelle.
Before coming to St. Peter's Casey served as Priest Associate at Christ Church Cathedral in Houston, where he served the 20/30s population and directed the Cathedral's communications department.
Casey is passionate about the outdoors, claiming golf, cycling, hiking and gardening as favorite pastimes. He and Melody love to travel, having made pilgrimages to Ireland, Ethiopia, Israel, and Costa Rica, and are actively seeking their next destination.

He is a life long Rhode Island resident who lives in South Kingstown with his wife, two daughters, 16 chickens and 1 enormous cat named Oreo. Dave graduated from Hendricken and Boston University. After retiring early, he was looking for an outlet for his need to work and tinker, and therefore thought the Sexton position at St. Peter’s might fit the bill. He also enjoys reading, working outdoors and spending time at the ocean.
