The Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire has announced that Bishop Robert Hirschfeld (Bishop Rob) will be retiring in 2027. Bishop Rob has served the diocese since 2012, leading with pastoral warmth and a deep commitment to the Episcopal tradition.
The diocese has begun the process of searching for the 11th Bishop of New Hampshire. This is an important moment for the entire diocese, including the Church of the Good Shepherd.
We ask for your prayers for Bishop Rob and his family as he prepares for this transition, and for the diocese as we discern our next bishop. More information about the search process is available on the Diocese of NH website.
