Report from the Search Committee
The Search Committee has completed its period of “receiving names”, and now is moving to evaluating and interviewing candidates. This may take some time depending on Diocesan review and candidate availability, and it will be followed by site visits where applicable. The Committee will not be able to comment during this process, which we expect to conclude with the recommendation of three candidates to the Vestry. We ask your prayers for success.
The Parish Profile is posted on our website. To read

Diocesan Summer
Youth Conference
"Love Thy Neighbor"
Sunday-Saturday, August 19-25
Incarnation Center
Ivoryton, Connecticut
Summer Youth Conference is a week-long event for the young people of the diocese. It is a combination of many things; part retreat, part camp, and part convention. It is a chance for the youth of the diocese to escape the pressures of the outside world, to meet people their own age, discuss topics relevant to their lives, define their own personal spirituality, and have fun - all at the same time!
The Summer Youth Conference is open to all people finishing grade 6-12 who would like to experience a week of spiritual growth and Christian fellowship.
