198th Diocesan Convention
The Episcopal Diocese of Kentucky celebrates 250 years of Episcopal witness in Kentucky at its 198th convention hosted at Christ Church Cathedral in Louisville November 14-15.
Our convention offering this year goes to support the Home of the Innocents. Founded by Episcopalians in 1880, the Home is celebrating it's 145th year of serving Kentucky's children. Home of the Innocents is the only pediatric skilled nursing facility in the state. Read about their bold vision to add 50 beds so that children who grow into young adults never have to leave their home at the Kosair for Kids Complex Care Center. HOTI CEO & President Paul Robinson will join us at the beginning of the business session. Watch the video about the Home's mission and expansion here.
