Fr. Jamie is installed at St. Stephen's 6th Rector

It was a truly beautiful and moving morning at St. Stephen’s as Fr. Jamie was installed at the 6^th Rector of St. Stephen’s, welcomed Stephanie. Megan and Caleb as new members, as we renewed out baptismal vows, got  sprinkled with holy water and celebrated Holy Eucharist together. Plus the congregation gave Fr. Jamie a very wonderful 50^th birthday celebration. He also received a biretta and afterward we had cake shaped like a biretta, plus biretta-shaped cupcakes. Most of all, we celebrated St. Stephen’s. Thank you, everyone!
