Retired Clergy

Many retired clergy are active in our diocese, often helping congregations as assisting or interim clergy, or in a variety of other ways. The chaplains to retired clergy in our diocese are the Rev. Mark Spaulding and the Rev. Susan Astarita. These chaplains are in touch with and minister to over 250 retired clergy in our diocese. Once or twice per year, the group meets for fellowship, a Eucharist, and to be with Bishop Susan. Oftentimes, old friends will find each other during these gatherings, and the conversations flow.
