The Diocese Gives Thanks for the Ministry of the Rev. Vincent J. Kopp

The diocese gives thanks for the ministry of the Rev. Vincent J. Kopp, retiring rector of St. Stephen's, Oxford. Kopp has served as the rector of St. Stephen's, Oxford since October 2020. We wish him Godspeed as he and his wife, Katherine, enter this new chapter of their lives.

O heavenly Father, Shepherd of thy people, we give thee thanks for thy servant Vincent, who was faithful in the care and nurture of thy flock; and we pray that, following his example and the teaching of his holy life, we may by thy grace grow into the stature of the fullness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
