Bishop's Visit: January 2006
Sunday, January 29, 2006, diocesan bishop Duncan M. Gray III made his annual visitation to ECOM for the rites of baptism, confirmation, reception, and reaffirmation. It was a most glorious worship experience followed by a feast in the parish hall. These snapshots capture only some of the holy energy from that evening.
