Invitation to Consecration of New
Diocesan Bishop
Saturday, July 8, 1:30pm
Please Respond by Monday May 15
You are invited to share in a moment of history in our diocese when we come together to consecrate a new bishop. The Rev. Canon John Taylor will succeed Bishop Jon Bruno as Diocesan Bishop. He will be consecrated Bishop Coadjutor on July 8, at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. There is seating for 3,100 and each parish gets an initial block of 20 tickets. After the Mass of Consecration, attended by Bishops from across our country, there will be a reception lunch in Grand Park with foods representing the various nationalities of our diocese.
Would you like to go? I need to turn in our names and emails by May 15. Please let
Paula+
know as soon as possible.
(Bishop Jon Bruno will be retiring December 2017.)
