Update on Rector Search, March 19, 2026 I am very pleased to let you know that St. Francis in the Valley has moved forward in the process of searching for a new rector. We have moved from “Building a Portfolio “ to “Receiving Names” category on the diocesan Transition Ministry’s web page. Going forward the diocese will begin a eight week campaign of putting our search out there. There will be special email blasts, an announcement in the E-pistle, and social media posts. Your search committee is currently in the process of crafting an ad for the Episcopal News Service’s jobs board. So the word is getting out starting March 23, 2026. The transition from the old Office of Transition Ministry Database to the new Vocation Hub Database system is going a bit bumpy and is not currently active for us and most other congregations searching. But it is being worked out and in the meantime the diocese can accept candidates that find us through networking and other promotions. Peace, Tom Cadwalader for the Search Committee
