State Representative Katie Dempsey welcomed Father Austin Goggans, first vicar and parish priest at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church here in Rome, as the “Chaplain of the Day” for the Georgia House of Representatives on Tuesday, February 9th.
According to Dempsey, “It was an honor to host Father Goggans as one of our Chaplains this week, as well as share with the Georgia House just one of the amazing residents who live in House District 13.”
As the Chaplain of the Day, Father Goggans gave a brief sermon and led the House in prayer and the pledge of allegiance before the House began work on Legislative Day 14 of the 2021 session.
