Last Sunday, November 15th, we were privileged to have a visit by Bishop Dorsey McConnell. During his visit, he confirmed Zeke Matous and received Timothy Howell into the Episcopal Church. The church sanctuary was filled with parishioners as they worshiped the Lord, renewed their baptismal vows, and listened to the bishop’s message. Our music program was exceptional as we listened to Brenda Harris, our organist and pianist, accompanied by violinist, Julia Simeone.
At the conclusion of the service, Bishop McConnell blessed our renovated Little Saints Room. The room was dedicated in memory of Raymond Micholetti, Jr, a young parishioner who was tragically killed in a bike accident. Kathy, Raymond’s mother, was presented with the dedication plaque. The Micholetti, Warner, Price and Brucker families–all relatives of Raymond–were on hand to witness the dedication ceremony. The room was renovated by Joe and Christi Warner, Patrick and Caitlin Price, and Jason Brucker, Jr.
As is our tradition, we celebrate the birthdays of our parishioners each month. Eight year old Mollie Matous was especially blessed to receive a birthday blessing by the Bishop! After the blessing he let her try on his mitre, and he introduced her to the congregation as “Bishop Mollie”!
