In the wake of Easter — and always — we’re so grateful for our clergy. Here’s a glimpse into last Tuesday’s Chrism Mass at @newporttrinity. Full album on our Facebook page!

This prayer is “For Clergy and People” on page 817 of the Book of Common Prayer.

From Bishop Knisely: “Devastated by the news of today’s shooting in Pawtucket, I am holding all the victims and their families in my thoughts and prayers. I am also praying for the first responders as they grapple with the senselessness of this tragedy.”
