The Reverend John Inserra Says 'Farewell' to Louisiana  

"I just wanted to send a quick note and thank all of you who have been gracious and supportive of me and Sarah since we came to this Diocese two years ago fresh out of seminary.  As some of you may know, we are heading out West as I have accepted a call to be Rector of St. Peter's in Sheridan, Wyoming.  Our last Sunday at St. Paul's was today and we will be leaving for Wyoming this coming weekend.  

I am thankful for the colleagues I had in this Diocese and the friendships I was able to form.  I wish you all God's grace and blessings in your ministries and will be thinking of you during Mardi Gras and when I am gassing up my snow blower this winter."  

In Jesus Christ,
John+
