Annual Parish Meeting & Vestry Election

Mark you calendars now for our Annual Parish Meeting & Dinner Sunday, January 15 | 5:00-6:30 pm       Our Annual All-Parish Meeting will take place at 5:00 pm on Sunday, January 15, 2017.   We’ll begin with dinner  (smoked Boston pork shoulder & all the trimmings, provided by the Knights of Columba)  and then move into our annual parish meeting.  It’s an exciting time in the life of the parish as we celebrate the blessings we’ve all shared in our parish and look into the coming year of new programs, mission opportunities, and growth.        During the annual meeting, we will elect four members to serve a three year term on the parish vestry.  If you would like to nominate yourself or another parishioner to be elected to the vestry at the annual meeting, please submit their names to either of the parish wardens (Brian Dempsey or Scott Doyle), or complete the nomination form found on the parish website.  Click Here to Read More >>
