Joan's Retirement Message

I have told you often that I love being part of St. Matthias Parish.   My thirteen years as your rector have been fulfilling, and each relationship that we have formed is a privilege for me.

Now it is time for me to retire.   I have always hoped to retire when I am still healthy and happy in my ministry.   I am both healthy and happy, for which I am very thankful.  I do have mixed feelings about leaving because I will miss you very deeply.   I  cherish our community here.   At the same time, I am looking forward to being able to devote time to interests that I have not been free to pursue.
