We are very pleased to announce the call of the Rev. Canon Bonnie-Marie Yager-Wiggan as the new Associate Rector at Calvary Church. Bonnie-Marie was formerly a McNulty Intern (March 2020- March 2021) at Calvary and, for the past three years, has been Canon (Associate Rector) at Trinity Cathedral in downtown Pittsburgh.

She is originally from Knoxville, TN and spent time in Slovakia and England (where she met her husband, Jamie). She moved to Pittsburgh to attend Trinity School for Ministry from which she was graduated in 2017. She was ordained in the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh in 2021.

Bonnie-Marie will share in all priestly ministries with a focus on newcomers and young adults. At Trinity Cathedral, she has overseen Christian formation, outreach programs, ministry with newcomers, the annual stewardship campaign, and pastoral care among many other duties. 

In the larger Church, she serves on the Standing Committee of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, was Diocesan Convention Manager from 2018-2021, and was elected as deputy to the upcoming General Convention of the Episcopal Church.

In her spare time, she likes to cook and travel and is a huge college football fan of her native Tennessee Volunteers.



She will join us at Calvary in July. Please welcome Bonnie-Marie and Jamie. Her new email address will be byagerwiggan@calvarypgh.org.

I am delighted and honored to be joining the Calvary community as your Associate Rector! I served as the McNulty Intern, and it is a rare opportunity to return to a place you know and love. I look forward to joining this community and sharing life and faith together. 

Calvary has a long and esteemed history of supporting women in ministry and serving the community by sharing its space with those in need. I am grateful to join those who have gone before and continue in the work of Calvary’s mission. I’m excited to share in the ministry of Calvary with the excellent team of clergy and staff. 

During this time of transition, my prayer is that we would all know and experience the faithfulness of God. That together we will continue to be a community of welcome, worship, learning, and service. I look forward to this new chapter in my ministry and the life of the church.

In Christ, 

Bonnie-Marie
