The diocese gives thanks for the ministry of the Rev Javier Almendárez-Bautista, departing senior associate rector at St Paul’s, Cary. Javier leaves to accept a new call as rector at Holy Family, Chapel Hill. 

Gracious God, bless your servant, Javier. Surround him with our gratitude and love in this season of change, that he would sense your presence and delight in his daily life. Thank you for giving Javier to us to know as a sibling in Christ, a steward of your mysteries, and a worker for peace. Guide him in the continued use of his gifts that he may use them to bless the church and the world through Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen
