Loading...The deadline is quickly approaching if you wish to reserve tickets to attend a diocesan dinner the night before the Sept. 25 consecration of Bishop-elect Terry White as the eighth bishop of the Diocese of Kentucky
The dinner, open to all, will be held at the Muhammad Ali Center, 144 N. Sixth St., Louisville, on Friday, Sept. 24, beginning at 6 p.m. (EDT) with a reception. Tickets, which cost $50 each, are required and must be purchased by Sept. 15, using the Transition Committee's ticket form. Earlier that day, the diocese's clergy will have been invited to a meeting and luncheon with the presiding bishop and bishop-elect. Clergy planning to attend are required to register for that event. The form for the luncheon may be downloaded here.
The consecration will begin at 11 a.m. (EDT) Saturday, Sept. 25, at the Galt House, 140 N. Fourth St. No reservations are required for the service. If you can't make it to downtown Louisville that morning, however, you can still watch it if you have a computer and Internet hookup. The full service will be webcast live, so check the Diocese of Kentucky website shortly before 11 a.
Finally, the day after the consecration, Christ Church Cathedral, 421 S. Second St., will officially seat the newly consecrated bishop during its 10 a.m. (EDT) Sunday service. Seating will be limited to about 350 and will be first come, first served. A casual potluck meal will be served after the service.
