Puerto Rico Episcopal diocese to mark 100 years tending ‘body and soul’

“A spirited procession of banner-waving youth, laity and clergy, musicians strumming the plena on guitars and cuatros, and Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori are among thousands expected at the Sunday, October 21 celebration commemorating the Episcopal Diocese of Puerto Rico’s century of social, medical and spiritual community and service.

The celebration’s theme, “100 years dedicated to your body and soul” is intended to include a “celebration of the 100th diocesan convention of the Diocese of Puerto Rico, and the centennial of the health care services of the diocese, with St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital, which has developed into the largest nonprofit health care organization in Puerto Rico,” said Bishop David Álvarez-Velázquez of Puerto Rico.”*
