The wardens present Mary to the Bishop |
|
Rev. Karen Siegfriedt, Rector of St. Jude’s, found many parallels between Mary and Zacchaeus, the wealthy tax collector who climbed a tree to get a glimpse of Jesus. |
|
Mary received many gifts, practical and symbolic, as part of the service: Bible, water, stole, oil, key, Canons, sacraments, pillows made up of quilted squares from the children, and running shoes (for running her new parish). |
|
Mary’s friends from St. Jude’s created a beautiful farewell quilt, filled with scenes and symbols that remind her of her many wonderful years there. |
