One of our own parishioners, Meredith Ward, is now the Rev. Meredith Ward, following her ordination to the priesthood at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine on Saturday, September 19.
Congratulations to Mother Meredith on her ordination, to Deb on becoming a clergy spouse, and to the Episcopal Church and its Diocese of New York for receiving God’s blessings in ordaining our beloved friend into its order of priests.
In this week’s newsletter, Mother Liz reflects on the thin veil between worlds during Halloween, All Saints, and All Souls, when we remember our beloved dead and give thanks for the saints who inspire us. Drawing on 1 John, she reminds us that we are God’s children now, even as what we will become remains unrevealed, and invites us to open our hearts with thanksgiving on this journey together.
Listen to the sermon preached by the Rev. Ed Chinery on the Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost, October 25, 2026.
