We announce the Retirement of our Parish Administrator, Gayla Gianchetta who has served us
faithfully since June of 2012. Her husband Rod retired this past year (2016) and as she anticipates
retirement, they are looking to move to Boise, Idaho. Gayla will be finishing up at the end of June. The
executive committee is presently exploring our options for a “temp” as we define the position and interview
candidates.
We will miss Gayla’s wonderful “cheerfulness and hospitality” as an excellent first person-contact with our
cathedral. We pray for Gayla and Rod as they anticipate “leisure time with family” and relocation.
Project Resource 2.0
Workshop for Parish Stewardship Teams
Saturday, June 24
9:30 -11:00 AM in the Parish Hall
With a “year-round” stewardship emphasis, Project Resource was created as a cooperative effort by the
College for Bishops, The Episcopal Church Development Office, and the Episcopal Church Foundation… a
first and incredible cooperative effort! The materials have been “updated” since the launch a year and a half
ago. This Saturday workshop will focus specifically on the task of the Annual Pledge Campaign for the
operating budget. Dr. William Stomski, our Cathedral Dean, attended this “2.0 Conference” in early May and
will lead us through a process with practical methods to plan, launch, carry out, and celebrate such a year-long
campaign. Resources will be given for the two other realms of stewardship: Major Gifts and Planned Giving.
We would also like to explore setting up a conference soon to do a Planned Giving Workshop dealing with
estate planning, wills, end-of-life decisions, pre-funerals arrangements, and the like. Let us know if you would
have an interest and would attend.
If you have an interest in parish financial work and would like to attend, please let Father William know. Our
annual campaign program is always in need of volunteers and leadership excellence! We are blessed with those
who serve and assist David Morgan, Mac Wieland and Bob Snavely, especially our counters and our
Stewardship Commission members. There is always room for more folks.
Trinity Times II Stewardship Focus Article
June 10 & 11 – Maundy Thursday All Night Vigil – Bonnie Strader
Even though this is not Holy Week, we can always be reminded of activities
occurring during a solemn period in our church year. Bonnie Strader has been attending
Maundy Thursday All Night Vigils for over 30 years. This ministry is a ‘once a year’
opportunity where individuals can spend time contemplating the short human lifespan of
Jesus, the lessons learned, the modeling he gave us praying that that those of us to come
would live out his word. Spending two or more hours in a dark, quiet church, participating
in a ritual that has been practiced for hundreds of years in the Episcopal Church (as well as
by other Christians worldwide) brings into focus the discipline of group silent worship throughout the
years. Participants continue to pray as our forefathers prayed; and meet at the All Night Vigil in a ritual that
will continue to be practiced throughout the future. That cohesiveness has a powerful impact spiritually.
This year during the vigil, Bonnie spent some time going over previous vigils and the holy spaces
where they took place; mostly in chapels, but also parish halls and as well as a garden. Bonnie was blessed to
spend a night on a hilltop one year, as well as in the Cathedral of Paris, sharing the space with a diverse group
of people of different languages, races, creeds, as well as many of the Paris homeless. Bonnie shares, “It
occurred to me as I thought of my first Vigils in Paris as a teen; how wonderful a ministry it would be if we
could, in some future point expand on our opening our hearts and space to the community at large. Perhaps,
opening our Cathedral doors for periods of time - Mornings? Afternoons? Weekends? Twenty-four hours a
day! What a truly wonderful ministry that would be!”
SPECIAL THANKS to all of the support and planning with the Pentecost
PICNIC last Sunday at Idlewild Park. A great time was had by all! We
especially thank Kait Flocchini and Rayann Brown, and Nancy Pezonella,
the chefs, and all members of our sister Episcopal Parishes as well as
members of Trinity.
