Episcopalians in Canonsburg had reasons to celebrate this month. They hosted a retirement barbecue and picnic honoring the Rev. Canon Cathy Brall. Her 28 years of ministry in the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh included leading Trinity Cathedral in downtown Pittsburgh, leading field education at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, and for the last 8 years as pastor of St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church in Canonsburg.
The Canonsburg parish then welcomed Deacon Jim Miorelli as its new pastor. In addition to his theological education, Miorelli brings a background in software product management.
“I feel very blessed and humbled to have the opportunity to serve the St. Thomas’ community and hope that together and with God’s help, we can support and expand ministry in Canonsburg and beyond,” said pastor Miorelli.
