Ray Hahn

Ray and his husband Will Long moved to San Francisco from Washington DC in 2013.
After a brief search for a church home, they walked into St. Mary’s on a Sunday and
immediately felt comfortable, joining the congregation in 2014. Ray was raised Catholic
in the Detroit suburbs, but after meeting Will in 1992 they found an Episcopal church
home in Washington where Ray felt comfortable enough to get much more involved.
Adult Christian education became his focus, and besides taking numerous classes
himself, he also taught fifth-grade Sunday School and helped to lead the Parish retreat
and adult Confirmation classes. At St. Mary’s he and Will led a Lenten series on
Belonging and served as chalice bearers for eight years.

Ray is a retired general dentist who owned a practice in the Financial District. After
selling the practice in 2024, Ray has been able to spend much more time doing the
things he loves: snow skiing, hiking, traveling, and home projects, and is now excited to
be contributing more of his time and energy to St. Mary’s.
