Votive candles

The Rev. Canon Matthew T. L. CorkernWith sadness we share the news of the death of the Rev. Canon Matthew T. L. Corkern on Sunday, April 24, with his family by his side.

Matthew served as the 13th Rector of Calvary Church in Summit. He also served the diocese on the HR Committee, Fund Development Committee, Bishop Transition Committee, and the Cathedral Chapter.

A memorial service will be held at Calvary on a date to be announced. We will share the memorial service details as soon as they become available.

Good and gracious God, the light of the faithful and shepherd of souls, you sent your servant Matthew to be a priest in your Church to feed your sheep with your word and to guide them by his example; give us the grace to keep the faith he taught and to follow in his footsteps. We entrust him into your unfailing mystery of Love and Hope through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
