Crieff Hills Retreat and Conference Centre, Puslinch, Ont.

Stephen Roche has served faithfully as the denomination’s Chief Financial Officer for 13 years. So at the final Assembly Council meeting he would attend before his upcoming retirement, the council members celebrated with cake. They also approved a minute of appreciation that will be presented to the General Assembly in June. “Steve Roche brought not only a passion for good financial management to his office but a passion for his faith and church as well,” it concludes. “The Presbyterian Church in Canada has much to the thankful for in the ministry of Stephen Roche, and we wish him and his family God’s blessing in what we know will be an active retirement.”
