We use incense on feast days as well. Our clergy team includes the rector, full time stipendiary and generous retired priests who are part of the regular preaching rotation. We are grateful to have a volunteer vocational deacon as well. The preaching at St. Richard's is rich and diverse. There are many ways to service in worship.
