2026 10 18 Pentecost 21, Proper 24, Holy Communion, Rite II, officiated by Mother Hannah Armidon. Thank you for leading our service in such a spiritually inspiring way, Mtr, Hannah. We have been blessed by the services you have supplied for us since Fr. Colin retired at the end of June. We will be sad to see you leave the Diocese this coming week and we wish you every blessing along with your husband, Fr. Robert, as you move to Texas to take up a new cure there.

2026 10 11 Pentecost 20, Proper 23, Reserved Communion, Rite II, led by Dcn. Rick. Thank you, Deacon Rick, for being willing to officiate Communion from the Reserved Sacrament twice each month during the time we have no Rector. Your service to God and St. Mary’s is vitally important to our ability to follow in the footsteps of Jesus and keep our mission statement clearly in front of us.

2026 10 04 Pentecost 19, Proper 22, Track II, Holy Communion, Rite II officiated by Fr. John Cairns. Thank you, Fr. John and Nancy (Chalice Bearer) for your supply service to St. Mary’s today. Today was the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. We prayed together the special prayer attributed to St. Francis. It is a well-known and much-loved prayer. Today Barbara and Jackie updated the congregation on the parish financial position. Overall, there is much to be thankful and we praised God. 2027 looks like being a tough year with significant increases in fuel oil, diocesan assessment and meeting the salary and associated cost of calling a of a new Rector. We will continue to trust God to supply the needs of St. Mary’s abundantly.
