Veterans Day Holy Eucharist and Commissioning of Chaplains
Episcopalians were invited to join a first-time churchwide Veterans Day Holy Eucharist service at 7 p.m. ET Nov. 11—via livestream or in person at the Church Center chapel in New York City—to honor those who have served in the military and specially recognize the Episcopal chaplains who support them.
Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe presided, and the Rt. Rev. Ann Ritonia, bishop suffragan for the church’s Armed Forces and Federal Ministries, preached. The service included a special “commissioning for further service” of chaplains who serve military veterans in all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces.
