After 30 years of commitment to the ministry, Roger Ard, the rector at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Rome, will conduct his last service March 6.
“I am going to begin my retirement by doing absolutely nothing,” he chuckled. “After that, I hope to start writing and maybe do a little teaching.”
Ard has been at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church for 10 years. The church plans to throw a celebration service for Ard on March 6 after his final service.
