New Year’s Greetings to One and All,

I trust that you all have had a joyful celebration to mark the beginning of 2012 and I want to wish you greetings as we move into the New Year which marks the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of our diocese. I would like to share a few items of information with you around happenings in the diocese.

First Annual Bishop’s New Years Levee

I want to extend my thanks and appreciation to the people of the Parish of St. Thomas, Belleville and to the members of the 150^th anniversary organizing committee who helped make our kick off event a great success. Nearly two hundred worshippers gathered for the celebration of the Eucharist and the "first annual Bishop’s Levee” which followed in the parish hall. We dedicated and blessed our anniversary banner and candle which will make its way around the diocese throughout our anniversary year. Our anniversary theme "Into the World”calls us to carry forward the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ in all that we think, say and do on behalf of the one who is the Light of the World.
