We are delighted to share that the Very Rev. Molly Payne-Hardin, Rector of Trinity Episcopal Church in Watertown, has been announced as a candidate on the slate for the next Bishop of the Diocese of Northwestern Pennsylvania.
This is an exciting moment in Molly’s journey of ministry and leadership, and we give thanks for the gifts she has shared with the Episcopal Diocese of Central New York and the wider Church.
As this discernment process continues, we offer our support and prayers for Molly, for the search committee and people of the Diocese of Northwestern Pennsylvania, and for our own diocese as we walk together in hope and faith.
Please join us in praying for wisdom, guidance, and the movement of the Holy Spirit in the days ahead. Congratulations, Molly — we hold you in our prayers as this journey continues!
