C. SEND IN THOSE MEMORIES
Episcopal News by EN staff
Photographs and memories of retiring Bishop Suffragan Chester Talton and Bishop Assistant Sergio Carranza are being sought for display at their May 29 retirement reception and as lasting mementos for the two bishops to keep.
"We would like to make as many opportunities as possible for people from throughout the diocese to communicate their congratulations to retiring Bishop Talton and Bishop Carranza," said Serena Beeks, who is coordinating the effort. "We are soliciting “postcards” to display – a photograph (5” x 7” or smaller) of your church or one of the bishops visiting you or anything that will serve as a reminder of your wonderful relationships with two terrific people!"
Well-wishers are also invited to write a message greeting, poem or prayer on a separate piece of paper (also 5" x 7" or smaller). Beeks requests that they not write on the backs of the photos.
"Please write separately to the two bishops so that they may take the messages home," said Beeks. "We will happily receive pictures and notes from congregations, groups and/or individuals."
Photographs and notes may be mailed to: Serena Beeks, Cathedral Center of St. Paul, P.O. Box 512164, Los Angeles, CA 90051. (Please do not email materials.)
The open house reception for the two bishops will be held on Saturday, May 29, 12 noon to 3 p.m., at the Cathedral Center of St. Paul, 840 Echo Park Avenue, Los Angeles. The diocesan community is invited: children are welcome. Entertainment and light refreshments will be provided for all ages.
Reservations (for planning purposes) may be made to Lilline Dugan at lillinedugan@ladiocese.org, at 213.482.2040, ext. 241, or at the Cathedral Center address (P.O. Box 512164, Los Angeles, CA 90051
