Bishop-elect Hartmayer of Savannah to be ordained and installed

One cardinal, nineteen bishops, four abbots, five provincials and 250 priests are expected to attend, along of course with hundreds of family members and friends of Bishop Hartmayer as well as faithful from Georgia’s southern counties.

The celebrations will officially begin Monday night at 7pm with Solemn Vespers and Benediction at the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist.

The ceremony on Tuesday will be presided by Archbishop Wilton Gregory of Atlanta who will also preach the homily.  Though a ticketed event due to space constraints, a reception open for all will follow immediately after the installation at Lafayette Square. Six hundred open seats will be available in Our Lady’s Chapel located in the crypt level of the  Cathedral to view the Mass on giant screens.  Perhaps the best way to watch it is online in the comfort of one’s home!  At Sacred Heart we will be streaming it live at the PAC beginning at 2pm.
