On behalf of myself and my family, I wish to extend many thanks to the St. James’ community for such a great ordination service and reception. I am deeply grateful to everyone who worked on, took part in, and attended the beautiful liturgy and the reception afterward. The experience was joyous, uplifting, and humbling for me – and a true St. James’ celebration, filled with love and song. It was also powerful to have the community lay hands on me during the Sunday services two days later at which I had the honor of presiding. I am very appreciative of everyone’s love and support, and I pledge to do my best to serve you all as a priest. Thank you, one and all.
—The Rev. Jim Harrington
