Presiding bishop to preside at Veterans Day Evensong in Hawai‘i after visiting troops overseas

Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe will preside at a livestreamed Evensong on Nov. 11 for Veterans Day in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, after meeting this week with U.S. Marines and sailors stationed in Japan.

Rowe is joined on the trip by the Rt. Rev. Ann Ritonia, bishop suffragan of Armed Forces and Federal Ministries, who will preach at the Evensong at Cathedral of St. Andrew in Honolulu. The service starts at 5:30 p.m. in Hawai‘i (10:30 p.m. Eastern).

Armed Forces and Federal Ministries recruits and supports chaplains discerning a call to serve in military and federal ministries. The Episcopal Church notes that the military chaplaincies represent the church’s largest young adult ministry, with military members ages 18 to 26 making up about half of the armed forces.  To read more, click here
