“I am excited to be with you! To love you, to love our neighbors together, and to serve our God with each other,” said Rev. Talk. “Trinity is a wonderful parish. God has beautiful plans for ministry in Manassas, and I am thrilled to see what is in store for us together.”
Trinity’s former rector, The Rev. Stuart Schadt, and associate rector The Rev. Vinnie Lainson both retired July 31, after serving the parish for more than 50 years collectively.
