READ THE TRANSCRIPT

150th Anniversary Events

Bishop Hughes has been admitted to the hospital due to an infection that requires inpatient treatment through Saturday. As a result, she will not be able to attend our 150th anniversary events this evening and tomorrow. She sends this message to the diocese:

I am very disappointed to miss joining you onsite but will share the joy in spirit. I know you will give a robust welcome to Bishop Rowe and Bishop Curry. I am grateful for the many people all over our diocese who offered their time and talent across this year of celebration. Happy 150th anniversary, y’all!

Blessings,
Bishop Hughes

As we gather this weekend, please pray for a quick recovery for Bishop Hughes.
