ERIN’S EPISTLETTE'S

• Most of you are aware a young man from Gering High School died suddenly and tragically last month. Pastoral care is available to all community members, regardless of whether they are connected to Saint Francis or not. If you know of anyone who needs support, please let me know. 
• For those interested in learning more about the happenings at this year's Annual Council, several videos have been posted to YouTube:
  • Bishop Barker's address is available here.
  • Canon Stephanie Spellers keynote address to Council is available here. 
  • And Canon Spellers' sermon at Council's opening Eucharist is available here, beginning at 31:41.
• It's never too early to announce CAMP!! The Diocese of Nebraska's Camp Canterbury will be July 17-21, 2023 at Calvin Crest in Fremont. Neither transportation nor cost should be a barrier to any Saint Francis youth (or their friends) who wish to attend. Please talk with me if logistical or financial assistance is needed. And please save the date!!
