Canon for Formation Caroline Black, having served the Diocese
faithfully for over 10 years, will be retiring at the end of April.
"Caroline has been wonderfully supportive of my ministry," said Bishop
Hollerith. "I have relied on her wise counsel as well as her unflagging
desire to get things done. And I have enjoyed our friendship. She will
be greatly missed."
