Rector takes part in C of E anniversary

“A procession from Westminster Abbey and a celebratory service at St Paul's, will mark the 20th anniversary of the ordination of women in the Church of England. Every woman ordained in 1994 has been invited to take part in the events on Saturday 3 May, and all of England’s 42 dioceses will be represented.  The Archbishop of Canterbury, The Most Reverend Justin Welby, will preach.”  - excerpted from an Anglican Church News Service press release.

St. Catherine's Church rector, the Rev. Christine Rowe, will be among those processing from Westminster Abbey to St. Paul’s Cathedral to celebrate the anniversary of that historic occasion in 1994 when over 600 women were ordained to the priesthood.

Congratulations, Christine! We will be thinking of you as you take part in this wonderful event to celebrate your personal and collective landmark ordinations!
