Bishop Santosh Marray & Father Matt Celebrate Newly Confirmed Members of Christ Church Denton, Tracy Berrigan & Walt Palmer
Every year we have an annual Visitation of the Bishop when Bishop Santosh Marray comes and fulfills several roles.
- He checks up on the health of the parish so he can offer assistance in case the parish is in crisis.
- He performs Confirmations, Receptions and Reaffirmations with the laying on of hands and blessings.
- He signs off on our Register book which records the events in our parish over the last year.
- He joins us at our Covered Dish Brunch with his wife Lynn to share fellowship and his love for all of us.
We know him as Bishop San. He likes to come on the same Sunday when we celebrate Harvest Thanksgiving, a traditional
British celebration initiated at Christ Church by John Harwood many years ago when the church is decorated by baskets
of produce, preserves and baked goods in thanksgiving for the abundance of the blessing of the land.
