Many thanks to Holy Cross's photographer in residence, Midori Seo, ODNW and to Bishop John Stephens for these photos from the bishop's episcopal visit, September 12, the Feast of Holy Cross (transferred).
This was Bishop Stephens' first official visit of his episcopacy to the parish and the calendar cooperated with his availability for the parish's partonal festival.
Vicar, the Reverend Alecia Greenfield, Deacon, the Reverend Katherine Yeo and the entire community were delighted with his visit and the well-known Holy Cross hospitality was on display, with a celebratory luncheon after worship.
Bishop Stephens at the luncheon, those look like "pigs-in-blankets", YUM!
