Convention delegates were also elected. Joining current delegates, Janice and Andy Flood, are Alternates Richard Starr and Wendy Gilbert and Linda Gibeck as Vestry delegate.

The parish is donating a financial gift to the Children’s Home Foundation of Easton in honor of her eight years of devoted work to our parish. Fr.

Volunteers will add them to the rest of the meal, and deliver them to Elkton’s Paris Foundation. Join us in this ministry to our community! Thanks!
