Church of Our Saviour Prepares for a Celebration of Ministry

This past fall, after an 18-month nationwide search process, the leadership team, at Church of Our Saviour called then interim rector, the Rev. Hays (Hank) Junkin, to serve as permanent full-time rector of the Milford-based parish.

On Wednesday, January 21, the parish will join with the Right Revered A. Robert Hirschfeld, the bishop of the Episcopal Church of New Hampshire, clergy from throughout the diocese, as well as local clergy and community leaders in celebrating their new ministry together.

The event, which commences at 6:30 p.m. at the Amherst Street church building, marks an important milestone in the life of the local parish. It recognizes not only the calling of Fr. Hank, but of the parish’s commitment to continuing the shared work of Christ through both its ordained and lay members.

Members of the local community are welcome to attend.

Fr. Hank, who has served as interim rector at Church of Our Saviour for the past three years, is a strong supporter of outreach programs. He believes pastoral care is the heartbeat of parish life and brings more than 36 years of experience in parish ministry to his new role.

He is married to the Rev. Sarah Rockwell, rector of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Londonderry, NH.

The Church of Our Saviour is an Episcopal parish in Milford, NH, open to those seeking a spiritual home or just exploring the life of faith. The church is located at the intersection of Amherst and Grove streets just outside of the Milford Oval, across from the post office.
