From the Rector

Dear Parishioners and Friends,

In many ways, yesterday was just another Thursday at St. Mary's. Contractors chiseled and sawed away on our endless stonework restoration, the finishing touches were put on a new state-of-the-art fire alarm system, arborists cut down four massive dead oak trees at the rectory, and we were visited by a number of church office "regulars." Sunday bulletins were dutifully printed, phones and emails were answered. Just a usual day, except that it was also Jennifer's last day in the office as my assistant. We even acted like it was just a usual day: getting things done, laughing, scheming, until one o'clock when we said our emotional farewells. On behalf of everyone at St. Mary's, I would like to say one more big thank you to Jennifer for all that she has added to our common life in the last two years, and best of luck in the future (click here for photos of last Sunday’s thank you to Jennifer).

On a completely unrelated, yet important note, it seems that someone mistakenly picked up the rector's prescription glasses at coffee hour last Sunday. They were last seen on the corner table in Bentley Hall. If you have them or know of their whereabouts, I would greatly appreciate their return, as I have difficulty reading print without them. They are Warby Parkers with a frame that has brown on top and blue under the lenses.

Blessings,
Father Rick
