Blessings and Congratulations to Deacon Mary McCue
 
Our Bishop Mariann has announced that Mary McCue, who was with us from January through June, as part of her formation to be ordained Deacon (last Saturday, September 30), has been assigned to our parish! We rejoice in this gift. A Letter of Agreement will be drawn up, and we will be discerning her ministries in our midst. Mary brings many gifts, among them, as many of you have experienced, a listening presence and a joyful optimism born of her faith. You will, of course, be seeing her vested and serving at the altar. Please join me in re-welcoming Mary and expressing our gratitude that she has accepted that this new chapter in her life and ministry will be with us.

"Light and Peace" - Contemplative Evening Prayer

Join us for a time of intimate and awesome quiet prayer of the heart on Sunday, November 12 at 5 pm. Our Evening Prayer, flooded with candlelight, wrapped in ancient chant by an amazing choir of four and by electronic music, marked by words of wisdom, at the heart of which there will be sacred silence, will be a safe
and uplifting space for all. Immediately following prayer, we will gather in the Parish House for Wine and Cheese.
