Please plan to join with Penn State's Episcopal Campus Ministry as we gather at 6:15 pm in Eisenhower Chapel, Sunday April 29, to celebrate our final Eucharist of the spring semester. We shall be honoring our graduating seniors, Dan Zartman and Katie Schultz, who has served as our student president for the past year. In addition, as previously announced, this will be Canon Selvage's last liturgy as our priest and chaplain. As usual, a free full cooked dinner will be offered immediately following the Mass.
The Venerable Daniel L. Selvage, Penn State's Episcopal Campus Ministry Chaplain, has informed the Advisory Board and Student Officers of his pending resignation. Meeting with the Board in official session on Sunday, April 22, Canon Selvage cited a variety of "personal issues" have led him to reluctantly come to this decision. He explained that, while the exact date for his resignation to become effective has not yet been determined, he will not be returning as ECM's Chaplain for the fall 2012 semester. He note, however, that he will be working diligently over the next few months to provide for a smooth transition in the office of chaplain and has pledged his full cooperation in providing an adequate orientation to the one who will be his successor.
In addressing this decision, Canon Selvage noted how very deeply he has valued and enjoyed his 3+ years as Penn State's Episcopal Chaplain. Further, he requested the Boards' continued prayers for the Episcopal Campus Ministry community at Penn State, for those who will be part of the discernment process to select the new chaplain, and for himself.
This coming Sunday, April 29, will be the final Sunday evening Eucharist and Fellowship Dinner of the spring 2012 semester. It will also be Canon Selvage's last time to be at the altar of Eisenhower Chapel as ECM's priest and chaplain. The liturgy will begin at 6:15 pm. Please plan to join us!
