who we are

AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE YALE COMMUNITY

CHAPLAIN

The Rev. Alison (Ali) Donohue, M. Div. ’12

The Rev. Alison (“Ali”) Donohue came to us from the Episcopal Diocese of Hawaiʻi where she taught church history and theology in Waiolaihuiʻia, the local ordination program, and served as associate priest at St. John’s in Kula. She has served as school chaplain and retreat director, and was the founding director of a faith-based leadership program for young adults in Manhattan that has since spread to seven other U.S. cities. She has won grants to work and study in Kenya, South Africa, Jerusalem, Malaysia, and Singapore. She earned her Master of Divinity from Yale Divinity School (’12) where she met her wife, the Rev. Kerith Harding, also an Episcopal priest. Throughout her ministry, Ali has specialized in helping others deepen their faith, develop sound discernment skills, and strengthen their innate leadership gifts.


Ali loves to travel, go on hikes with her dog, read, play baseball with her kids, and ride her bike. Ali is available for conversation with all members of the Yale community wherever you are on your faith journey. Please be in touch.
