In this Year of Renewal, we are called to remember with courage, compassion, and faith. Twenty-five years after September 11, 2001, we gather to honor the lives lost, the communities forever changed, and the clergy and congregations who offered prayer, presence, and care in the days that followed.
This week, St. Paul’s Chapel, St. Thomas Church, and the Cathedral are featured in the BBC’s coverage of the twenty-fifth anniversary of 9/11. You can listen to their Daily Services here. Bishop Matthew Heyd also delivered a sermon for the BBC4 Sunday Service honoring September 11th this week – you can read a transcript here.

The Diocese of Long Island

In his final sermon as Bishop of Long Island at the Cathedral of the Incarnation, The Rt. Rev. Lawrence C. Provenzano reflects on 17 years of ministry, radical welcome, and the core of the Christian faith.
Drawing from Matthew 18 and contrasting popular cultural views of love, Bishop Provenzano reminds us that true love is an action—and that action is forgiveness. As the diocese dedicates and blesses the cathedral's new barrier-free forecourt project, he outlines a vision of unobstructed entry and grace for all people, urging the community to "think and pray big" while continuing to serve as a beacon of welcome, formation, and love.

With great enthusiasm, today a training session was held for the communities of our church at the Conference Hall of the Diocesan Center in Santurce. This workshop focused on the study and knowledge of our Diocesan Convention and the Constitution and Canons of the Church.
This space allowed us to delve into the principles, norms, and structures that guide our ecclesiastical life, promoting a more conscious, responsible, and committed participation in the mission of the Church.
We give thanks to God for our Church and we thank all the participants for their willingness, commitment, and desire to continue growing in knowledge and service.
