The Rt. Rev. Rayford B.High, Jr., visited Trinity Episcopal Church, Fort Worth, on Sunday, June 14, for a baptism, confirmations and a reception.
He baptized Jenna Cleoe Ross, confirmed Viney Polite Chandler, Jon Scott Nishimura, David Stanley, and Caron Lynn Moore-Rico; and received Mattthew Stephen Pierson.
There was a reception in the parish hall afterward. Since it was Bishop High’s last official visit to Trinity, the congregation marked the occasion with a gift card from a sporting goods store and a statue of St. Francis. Bishop High’s first parish as a priest was named St. Francis Episcopal Church. The statue’s plaque says, “In honor & memory of The Rt. Rev. Rayford B. & Pat High. June 14, 2015.” The statue will remain at the diocesan office.
