PHOTO GALLERY: Installation of St. Boniface New Rector John C. N. Hall

Parishioners welcomed Rev. John C. N. Hall Saturday, Feb. 23 as their new rector. Ted Copeland, St. Boniface's rector for 20 years, retired last spring. The committee has been searching for a new rector since November and after narrowing down a list of 50 candidates they chose Hall. The church was looking for someone who could embrace the church's welcoming nature and someone who could run a large church like St. Boniface. 'This is a place all people are welcome and where we are serious about changing this place and the world for the better, and introducing people to God in new ways,' Hall said.
