My wife and I were married in a little parish in Rhode Island, well outside of Providence.  It was always small, but, at the time, could support a full time rector.  That has not been the case for many years.  The most recent rector departed, and they are getting little to know support from the diocese in locating a new one.  They nearly closed at the beginning of the year, and I suspect that they really are only in a holding pattern
