Enjoy this photo gallery of Bishop Heyd’s visit to St. Bart’s last weekend. On Saturday, the bishop met with candidates for confirmation, reception, and reaffirmation at the Pilgrims and Pathfinders retreat, and two candidates were baptized on the eve of their confirmation.

On Sunday, June 1, Bishop Heyd presided and preached at the 9 and 11 am services and spoke to a standing-room-only crowd at The Forum, where he shared his vision for the transformation already underway in the Church.

At the 11 am service, 38 individuals were confirmed, received, or made reaffirmations in The Episcopal Church—the largest cohort at St. Bart’s since 2007. Following the service, the entire congregation gathered on the church steps for a Blessing of the Pride Flag and a congregational photo. Bishop Heyd concluded his visitation with a meeting with clergy and vestry.

It was a beautiful day in the life of St. Bart’s, and one we’ll remember for years to come.
