On Wednesday, January 25, 2012, the Parish of Bay Roberts-Coley's Point celebrated the Induction of their Rector, The Reverend Amanda Taylor, at St John the Evangelist Church, Coley's Point.
This was a Parish celebration in which The Right Rev. Cyrus Pitman, Bishop of the Diocese, officiated. Members of both congregations participated in the liturgy and choirs from both St. Matthew’s and St. John the Evangelist joined together to lead the music. Clergy from the Conception Deanery and other parts of Diocese were also in attendance.
Symbols of the Office of Rector were presented and we were all reminded of the responsibility that is ours for ministry as the Whole People of God. A Covenant was signed between the Diocese, the Parish and the new Rector. Following the service a social was held at the St. John the Evangelist Church hall where a time of food and fellowship was enjoyed by all!
