The Most Reverend Michael B. Curry, Presiding Bishop and Primate of The Episcopal Church, will be the chief consecrator. The Right Reverend Kevin Robertson, Bishop of the Anglican Church of Canada, Diocese of Toronto will preach at the service.

All are welcome! There will be reserved seating in the nave, chapel, and a tent outside of Trinity Cathedral for clergy and congregational representatives. If necessary, overflow areas might be established. Since there will be seating available for those who want to be present that day, it is important to register.
