Church of Our Saviour Announces New Rector

It is with great joy that the leadership of Church of Our Saviour in Milford has announced that interim rector, Fr. Hays (Hank) Junkin enthusiastically has accepted the call to serve as full-time rector of the parish.

The appointment of Fr. Hank comes at the end of an 18-month nationwide search process during which time the church’s Search Team met a number of highly qualified and spiritually blessed candidates. At the end of the day, however, the group determined that the best fit for the needs expressed by church members was serving within the church the whole time.

After extensive review, and with the approval of the Right Rev. A. Robert Hirschfeld, Bishop of the Episcopal Church in New Hampshire, the Search Team recommended Fr. Hank’s candidacy to the Church of Our Saviour Vestry, who as the elected leadership of the church, made the appointment.

Fr. Hank, who has served as interim rector at Church of Our Saviour for the past three years is a strong supporter of outreach programs. He believes pastoral care is the heartbeat of parish life and brings more than 36 years of experience in parish ministry to his new role.

He is married to the Rev. Sarah Rockwell, rector of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Londonderry.

The Church of Our Saviour is an Episcopal parish in Milford, NH open to those seeking a spiritual home or just exploring the life of faith. The church is located at the intersection of Amherst and Grove streets just outside of the Milford Oval, across from the post office.
