Interim Dean and Priest-in-Charge's Note
I shared exciting news last Sunday! Over the weekend, the Vestry had a great overnight retreat with Canon Melissa McCarthy leading the way. I also mentioned that a committee was formed to craft possible changes to our values, mission and vision. Any proposed changes will be reviewed by the vestry in August who will then share their work with all of you during a parish-wide gathering in September.
Things are moving forward nicely thanks to the good work of your vestry, staff, and everyone who actively participated in the five workshops held earlier this year with The Rev. Dr. Eric Law.
Canon Gaines and I feel that the Cathedral can begin working on the parish profile in October; this is the next step in the call process. Much of the work required for the parish profile is in draft form. The Cathedral should be able to launch the search process for your next Dean early next year.
So much is on the horizon including special Diocesan gatherings and concerts, a centennial celebration to honor the dedication of this Cathedral sanctuary, and groundbreaking developments at long last.
There are numerous ways for you to be actively involved in the life of St. John’s, your Cathedral home. Join us on Sundays at 8am or 10am. See our website and announcements for upcoming events. All of us are yearning to see where God will lead us next.
Much love and blessings, Anne+
