Update from the New Rector Search Committee - 9/10/2020

Hello fellow parishioners of St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church here in beautiful Pagosa Springs. I would like to give you a quick update from your new Rector Search Committee. First, I would like to introduce you to the members of your Search Committee. They are: Ken Rogers, Chair; Mary Gurley, Chaplain; Heidi Tanner, Recorder; Bob Endres, Chris Clayton, Jackie Cox, Lynne McCrudden, Nicki Rippee, and Todd Holman.

We will be working closely with the Rev. Canon Vanessa Stickler Glass, Canon for Transition Ministry at the Office of the Bishop in Denver. We are one of almost a dozen other parishes that are seeking a new Rector (full time, part time, or supply clergy) within the Episcopal Church in Colorado.

We have had an initial meeting and are in the process of developing a survey that we will be asking the members of St. Patrick’s to complete to help us understand who we are, where we would like to be in the future, and what type of Rector we would like to have as our future priest. This survey should be available around the first part of October and we will be asking everyone to complete the survey anonymously and return it to the church in the month of October. Your input will be vital to the success of our search. Thank you for your assistance to the Search Committee and I will be sending out updates as they happen in the future.
