St. Michael’s Lutheran Church in New Canaan invites the community to attend a special worship service on Sunday, Oct. 9 at 3 p.m., when the Rev. Dr. Derrick T. Fallon will be installed as pastor.
The Rev. Marjo Anderson, Pastor of Salem Lutheran Church in Bridgeport and the Dean of the Southern Connecticut Conference for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), will preside at the service. Rev. Paul Sinnott, Assistant to the Bishop for the ELCA New England Synod, will deliver the sermon. Clergy from New Canaan’s houses of worship and the churches of the Southern Connecticut Conference of the New England Synod, ELCA, have been invited to participate in the processional. A reception will follow the service.
Pastor Fallon was unanimously called to serve St. Michael’s Lutheran Church on July 17, 2016. Pastor Derrick was born in Abington, PA and lived in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh areas until his father’s work afforded a relocation of the family to Dutchess County New York near Poughkeepsie. In 1976 the family moved again to Westford, MA where he finished high school and attended the University of Massachusetts. He graduated in 1984 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics with a minor in Psychology. He worked at different locations throughout New England as a General Manager and Training Coordinator for a retail pharmacy chain until 2002 when he entered seminary at the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg after discerning a call to ministry.
