A church founded nearly 200 years ago in Morristown is saying goodbye to its popular pastor after a decade on the job.

Rev. Janet Broderick is moving more than 2,700 miles to Beverly Hills, California, where in June she will become the rector of All Saints Episcopal Church.

Broderick, whose brother is actor Matthew Broderick, recently broke the news to congregants at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Morristown.

Morristown Mayor Tim Doughterty said Broderick will be missed.

“She stayed committed to the community. I think she saw the long-term vision of Morristown and was an active part of it, from the arts to helping families out that needed assistance. She was all around just a great asset to the town,” Dougherty said.

Broderick did not immediately respond to a request for comment. She grew up in New York City and, prior to Morristown, was the rector for eight years at Grace Church Van Vorst in Jersey City.

Her impending move to Beverly Hills, which is near Hollywood and home to many in the business, is interesting in light of her family’s storied history. The city’s zip code, 90210, was immortalized by the TV show of the same name.

In addition to her brother, Matthew — best-known for playing the title character in "Ferris Bueller’s Day Off — her father, James Broderick, played the lead role on TV’s “Family” in the late 1970s.

Her mother, Patricia Broderick, was a playwright, and Matthew starred in her best-known work, the 1996 movie “Infinity.”

All Saints Episcopal Church, in an introductory video of Broderick on its website, noted that she hails from “a family of artists.”

Janet Broderick did some acting in her youth and appeared on “Family” with her father, but began focusing on religion as a career as a teenager.

“I’m coming here to be a minister. It is who I am," Broderick says on the video.

St. Peter’s Episcopal Church was founded in 1827 and uses a building that is more than a century old.
