June 21 - Supply Priest or Interim?

What’s the Difference between a Supply Priest and In Interim Rector?

• A SUPPLY PRIEST is a priest not assigned to a particular parish who is available to substitute temporarily usually for Sunday services for a parish priest who is on vacation, ill or otherwise unavailable.  Over the years, we have had a number supply priests at Holy Spirit, including our own John Rollins.
• An INTERIM RECTOR is retained by a parish during the period between the departure of its Rector and the calling of a new Rector.   The purpose of having an Interim Rector is to sustain the direction and ministry of a congregation, as defined by the Vestry, in preparation for the coming of the next Rector
• CHS is seeking applicants for the Interim Rector position, which has been posted since late March.  We are first seeking a candidate with the right fit for our parish.  The Interim role may be part-time or full-time depending on the candidate’s availability.  We pray for the Holy Spirit to guide us to the best possible outcome for CHS and your Vestry is working everyday to identify and interview candidates. 

​Who is covering services this summer?

While we wait for our Interim Rector, the Vestry has secured a full roster of Supply Priests this summer.

Don’t miss the opportunity to hear from dear friends of our parish, as well as new voices. 
This is a great opportunity to expend your spiritual growth.
