Dear Friends,
Once again, I write to share with you the news of the passing of our beloved brother priest, Fr. Vince Cotter, who entered the joy of the heavenly banquet on Monday, July 8th at 3:00 PM. Fr. Vince spent the final years of his formal ministry with us here at Christ the King Church, before retiring early due to health concerns. Even in retirement, our Christ the King–St. Stephen community remained very close to his heart. Though advised by the Diocese to rest, he often expressed his desire to continue serving in whatever way he could.
Please join me in prayer and, if possible, in person, for his funeral rites, which are as follows:
Wednesday, July 30 – Vigil and Viewing
