 The Reverend Andrew S. Rollins, Chaplain
Fr. Drew has served as the chaplain of St. Alban's since the summer of
2004. He did his undergraduate work in English at the University of the South,

Episcopal Church in his hometown of Richmond, VA for five years, he left to
pursue deep thoughts and drink espresso at Virginia Theological Seminary (class
of '95). He served as the associate rector of Trinity Church in New Orleans from
1995 - 2004 focusing on ministry to those in their 20's and 30's and attending
Jazz Fest nine times. Drew is married to Jeanie Randolph Rollins and they have
four children: David (10), John (7), Catherine (4), Margaret (1). In his free
time, he enjoys playing bluegrass banjo, ultimate frisbee, and fishing for speckled trout and
redfish. (The sad truth is that he has only caught one speckled trout .
. . so far.)

 Linda Armstrong, Deacon
Deacon Linda first visited St. Alban’s in 1973 and decided to stay for a while
to see if she liked it. With the exception of a few years in North
Carolina (about 15) she has been around ever since. After she was ordained
to the Sacred Order of Deacons in October 2005, Bishop Jenkins assigned her to
St. Alban’s. Linda is married to Lance Armstrong and they are the parents
of Elizabeth Guidry and the grandparents of Megan and Ethan. Linda
received an undergraduate degree from LSU in 1985
after managing to cram a four-year education into 17 years. She
completed the Education for Ministry program in 2006 and has attended
the Oxford University (UK) Summer School in Religious Studies. Linda
and her husband are avid LSU football fans and enjoy sitting in the same
Tiger stadium seats Lance’s parents secured before he was born. From
Monday through Friday, Linda is the Director of Pastoral Services at St.
James Place, a retirement community in south Baton Rouge. Linda is
confident that as soon as she finds some free time, she’ll find a hobby.

 Will Monroe, Chapel Resident
What’s 6 foot 2, can’t live without coffee, enjoys the shortest work
commute in Baton Rouge, and cannot go anywhere without his road bike? Yes,
you guessed right—it’s Will! Born in Baton Rouge, moved to Colorado
Springs, CO at age six, and moved back to Baton Rouge again after college, Will
attended his first morning service at St. Alban’s with his wife Heather shortly
after they were married in 2000. By the end of 2001, he and Heather moved
in upstairs and have since been devoted to the hospitality ministries along with
their two cats Béa and
Weezi – who have, by the way, kept all the mice away. Will currently
works at the Paul M. Hebert Law Center Library as he studies part time
for a Ph.D. in Educational Technology.

 Heather Monroe, Chapel Resident
If you have ever wondered what it’s like to be mistaken for a citizen of
a foreign country in your own home town you already have something in common
with Heather. She speaks a little Cajun French, is a self-taught chef, and
recently conquered Vail Pass on her road bike (sort of). Heather found a
spiritual home in St. Alban’s in December, 2000. Less than a year later
she made it her residence as well when she and Will became Chapel Residents.
Heather is almost never at rest and works and plays tirelessly. She can
usually be found engaged in lively conversation at the public library where she
works as a reference librarian.
