Search & Discernment News

The Search and Discernment team members have begun to visit the final active candidates for our rector opportunity.  These visits are scheduled to conclude on May 29 after which the Committee will narrow the list to the two best, most suitable candidates.  The Vestry will then work to discern and call the finalist for our opportunity including a compensation and benefits arrangement, an orientation and an assimilation process to help the new rector to a fast, productive start at SJOTM.
