The Rev. Ann Kathryne Urinoski - A Special Announcement
Dear Christ Church Community,
As I shared at worship services this past weekend, I am leaving our affiliation, Christ Church South Amboy and Trinity Church Matawan. I have accepted a call to be the next rector of All Saints’ Episcopal Church in Scotch Plains.
It has been an adventure to journey with you all these almost-five years together. I’ve loved walking alongside you in your devoted service to South Amboy and your growth after the pandemic. We’ve come so far since those first Zoom services together in 2020! Christ Church and South Amboy have left a mark on me that I will never forget, like your warmth and support, when Tommy and I got married in 2023. I hope to spend these last weeks celebrating our time together.
As per the guidelines for clergy departures, after my departure, I will no longer serve as pastor or priest in the life of this parish, nor will I maintain any role in the parish social media. In accordance with diocesan guidelines and in support of your next priest, I will be distancing myself from all relationships here most especially for the first twelve months after my departure.
My last Sunday service will be on Sunday, February 9, and my last Saturday service will be on Saturday, February 15. My last day with the affiliation will be on Sunday,
February 16. 2025.
Yours in Christ,
Mother Ann
