Fr. Eric Fialho, Rector of Saint Gabriel’s Parish in Marion, will be hosting a noontime prayer service on Election Day, November 5. This simple service will be filled with prayer, meditation, holy scripture, and time for reflection. All people, regardless of political party, or religious background are encouraged to attend. An optional time of fellowship, conversation, and food will follow the liturgy. Fr. Fialho said, “This prayer service is offered as a way to help bridge a political divide that is continuing to widen in our nation. My hope is that through services like these, people will remember that there is actually very little that separates us from one another, and that we are all equal in the eyes of God.” Saint Gabriel’s Episcopal Church is an open and affirming community of faith and welcomes all people to come to church just as the people they are. The Parish is located at 124 Front Street in Marion.
