2026 05 10 Easter 6 A, Holy Communion, Rite II. Officiant: Fr. Colin Belton, Priest-in-Charge. We welcomed Fr. Colin back this morning from his recent illness and surgery. He is still “on the mend”, but, as you will see, fully able to officiate and preach an excellent sermon. But the service today was also tinged with sadness as Fr. Colin announced that his recent illness had caused him to reflect deeply on his life and ministry. He has decided to retire and will leave St. Mary’s at the end of June. We are sad about his leaving us but are happy he, with Penny, is looking after his self-care in a healthy way. The last hymn of the service seemed to be extremely fitting – It is Well with My Soul. Amen!
