a note from our regional dean

I forward you the following notes from the Bishops' office:

Your prayers are requested for Ruth and family on the death of the Rev’d Stephen Demitroff. Stephen died early December 28 following a massive stroke. Stephen was ordained in 1984. His time in Huron included ministry at Glencoe and Newbury (1989-1996); Oldcastle/Colchester N (1996-2005) and Parish of the Transfiguration (Ridgetown, Dresden, Highgate, Aughrim, Florence and Thamesville) (2005 - )... The family and all who mourn his loss give thanks for your prayers.   Blessings Canon sue
