- Thursday, June 12 at 6:30 pm at Trinity, Capitol Square
- Sunday, June 29 at 5:00 pm at Christ Church Cathedral, Cincinnati
Join Episcopalians in the Columbus area and beyond on June 12 at 6:30 pm at Trinity, Capitol Square for their annual Pride Mass, taking place the night before the kick off for the Stonewall Columbus Pride Festival. This year, our celebrant is the Rev. Gerardo Romo Garcia (diocesan missioner for Latino ministries), our preacher is the Rev. Julia Joyce-Miesse (rector serving St. Luke’s, Granville), and our deacon is the Rev. Mary Raysa (St. Luke’s, Granville). A festive reception will follow the service.
Episcopalians in or near Cincinnati and beyond, are invited to our cathedral on June 29 at 5 pm — the day after the Cincinnati Pride Festival — for our annual Pride Mass, the Rt. Rev. Kristin Uffelman White, Tenth Bishop of Southern Ohio presiding, and Anny Stevens-Gleason, minister for congregational development at Church of the Redeemer, Hyde Park, preaching. This year, a potluck dinner and “Twilight Tea” dance will follow the service in Sycamore Commons (the courtyard between the cathedral and diocesan office) with jazzy drag performances by PHDee and Lady Phaedra and with DJ Bard spinning tunes.
The Episcopal Church has a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to express and exemplify God’s love for every human being, no exceptions. The Episcopal Church and the Diocese of Southern Ohio are committed to full inclusion and equality in our church and in society; a commitment that extends into our access to fellowship, leadership, and sacraments.
