New! St. Anne Welcomes The Rev. Michael Smith

This Sunday, we are delighted to welcome The Rev. Michael Smith as our guest preacher, and we are also pleased to announce that he is beginning a part-time ministry as Assisting Priest at St. Anne. Fr. Mike is a semi-retired Episcopal priest who has served at various parishes in the Diocese of Southern Ohio, and he is also the former Provost & Chief Academic Officer of the Christ College of Nursing & Health Sciences in Cincinnati.

Fr. Mike will be with us approximately two Sundays per month to help with worship and will also work with me to support other ministry areas in the parish. The Vestry has had the opportunity to meet with Fr. Mike, and we are all grateful for his willingness to give of his time and talents to our community as we continue to build our team and grow our many ministries at St. Anne.
