Congratulations! Celebrating Jane Collin and Roger Vance and their ministry!

Celebrating Jane Collin and Roger Vance!


We are overjoyed to share some wonderful news about two members of our Sts. Mary Magdalene & Martin family who have recently achieved well-deserved recognition.


First, a huge congratulations to Jane Collin, who has been selected as a winner of the Lynne Johnson Volunteer Award in the category of Working With Youth! This honor is a testament to Jane’s dedication to serving young people through our ministry with the Coral Springs Police Department Summer Camp. Her commitment to mentoring, guiding, and uplifting the next generation has made a profound impact, and we are so proud that she is being recognized for her service. Jane will receive this award on April 16th, and we celebrate with her in gratitude for all she does!


We also extend our heartfelt congratulations to Roger Vance, who has successfully completed his Verger Course! In the Episcopal Church, a verger is a lay minister who assists in the organization and smooth execution of liturgical services, often working behind the scenes to ensure worship is conducted with reverence and order. Roger’s dedication to this role reflects his deep commitment to our worshiping community, and we look forward to celebrating his installation as Verger soon—stay tuned for more details!



Please join us in congratulating Jane and Roger on these remarkable achievements. Their service and dedication continue to bless our parish and the wider community.

By Lee Davis • September 2, 2026
