Fr. Rick's Farewell Announcement and Celebration

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity St. Benedicts Parish,

It is my duty to inform you that Fr. Rick has accepted a position as Chaplain at the Covington Episcopal Home in Oragne County and will be leaving us. His new position begins on August 1, 2008 and therefore, this coming Sunday, July 27th, will be his final service with us. Fr. Rick announced his resignation to the Vestry on Sunday, July 20, during the Vestry meeting. While his resignation announcement to the Vestry was sudden and unexpected, we know and understand that he must listen to God’s call. Fr. Rick must go where he and our Bishop feel he is called to best serve and faithfully minister.

Following our 11AM service on July 27, the Vestry will host a Farewell Party to thank him for his service to us. We hope you can come for this special day and thank Fr. Rick personally for his work in helping us through our transition and search for a permanent rector. We encourage every parishioner and friend of the church to come celebrate Fr. Rick’s time with us and congratulate him in his new ministry.

On behalf of the Vestry of Holy Trinity and St. Benedict, I remain,

Yours in Christ,

Tim Botengan
Senior Warden
