The Most Rev. Dr. Katharine Jefferts Schori
Visits the Diocese of Kentucky

Between May 16 and 18, the Most Rev. Dr. Katharine Jefferts Schori was introduced to the people of  the Diocese of Kentucky through a series of public events in Louisville, Leitchfield and Paducah. Over the course of her three-day visit, she traveled by car and by plane from one end of the diocese, Louisville, to the other, Paducah, with a stop in between.  She participated in two "Conversations with the Presiding Bishop," the first  on May 16 at St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in Louisville and the second, the next night, at Grace Episcopal Church in Paducah. On May 17, she presided over "A Tent Meeting Episcopal Style" at All Saints' Episcopal Conference Center, located near Leitchfield, and she preached at Evensong before the second forum at Grace Church in Paducah. On May 18, she preached and celebrated Eucharist at Christ Church Cathedral and Church of the Resurrection, both in Louisville. Her public appearances culminated with a tour and reception at Episcopal Church Home.

The three-day visit has been documented through photo albums and videos. As the photos and the videos become available, they will be posted on the Web site so please check back to find new postings.
