A Message from the Rector
I am sorry to tell you that Anne Fleming, earlier announced as the new Parish Administrator starting in July, has now had to withdraw her acceptance of the position due to personal circumstances. But I am very happy to tell you that I have now offered the position to Mary Anne Handy, Parish Administrative Assistant the last several years, and she has accepted! Of the 14 original applicants, the Personnel Committee highly recommended only these two candidates, and I look forward to Mary Anne's new role among us, effective immediately.
