Dear Siblings in Christ,
Grace and peace to you in this sacred season of transition in the Diocese of Long Island.
On behalf of the Transition Committee, we joyfully invite you to register for the Diocesan Farewell Celebration honoring the Rt. Rev. Lawrence C. Provenzano:
Saturday, May 16, 2026
11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Cathedral of the Incarnation
Together, we will gather as one diocesan family to give thanks for Bishop Provenzano’s faithful and courageous ministry among us — a ministry that has shaped our common life through worship, pastoral care, prophetic witness, and deep love for this diocese.
The day will include a Festive Eucharist, a program of gratitude and reflection, and a joyful reception.
Clergy are warmly encouraged to vest and process for the Eucharist as a visible sign of our shared ministry and unity in Christ. Vesting details will follow.
Your presence and prayers are an important part of this moment of thanksgiving.
Please RSVP as seating is limited.
You are also invited to prayerfully support the Provenzano Family Legacy Scholarship for the Arts, a permanent fund honoring Bishop Lawrence Provenzano’s legacy by empowering young artists in our diocesan community. All gifts will help nurture the next generation of faithful creators whose talents will enrich the Church and the world.
With gratitude and hope,
The Rev. Claire Mis
Randy Schultz
The Rev. Stephen Tamke
