Rob Babson

Robert Babson (Rob) and his family have been regular parishioners at Church of the Advent since 1999. However, you may not know about his abiding interest in history and dedication to volunteerism. During a short stint with the Medfield Historical Society, Rob was invited to become one of the directors of the newly formed Peak House Heritage Center. He has been an active volunteer in a variety of capacities with New Life Furniture Bank of MA for 10 years and is current president of the Babson Historical Association. He gets great satisfaction volunteering his time and energy.

A leisure activity that brings Rob joy is cycling on dry roads in the towns around Medfield. Rob has had a fondness for travel from an early age. When he was in sixth grade, his parents took the family on a trip to Denmark, Scotland, and England. During high school, he and two friends sailed on a freighter from Texas to Amsterdam, and following graduation he spent part of a summer at London’s Heathrow airport pushing dollies of beer and soft drinks. A year out of college, Rob took an overland trip from Istanbul to New Delhi, with additional travel around parts of India.

Rob has volunteered for various ministries at our church. He has served on the vestry and been a lay reader. He has also supported his wife, Christine, on the many major activities which she has led at Church of the Advent. 

We are so blessed to have such a committed and involved couple to help our church grow. Thank you!
