EPISCOPAL BISHOP TO VISIT HILLCREST

The new Episcopal Bishop of San Diego, the Rt Revd James Mathes, will make his first official visit to All Saint’s Church in Hillcrest on Sunday September 11^th. Bishop Mathes was ordained as bishop of San Diego in March. The Rector of All Saint’s, Fr Tony Noble, said that the parish is eagerly looking forward to his first pastoral visit.

“I have had several meetings with him”, Fr Tony said, “and have found him to be a good listener, with a real concern for the parishes, their priests and people. He has a passion for reaching out in love for Christ to the whole community. He is in tune with what we are trying to do at All Saints’, and our concern for the local community”.

Bishop Mathes will preach at both Services on Sunday September 11^th. The 8 am Service is Low Mass. The 10 am Service is High Mass, and the Bishop will be the celebrant. The Service will include special music by the choir, and will begin with a traditional Liturgical reception of a Bishop.

There will be opportunity for people to meet the Bishop at coffee hour after each Service.

All Saint’s Church is on the corner of 6^th & Pennsylvania Ave, Hillcrest.
