Important Event Information

What you need to know for this Saturday’s Ordination and Consecration:

ALL overflow seating will be in Tenney Theatre. If you signed up for St. Paul’s Church, your RSVP has been automatically moved to Tenney Theatre.

A very limited number of seats in the Cathedral will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis on Saturday at the check-in table for those who RSVP’d for the livestream in Tenney Theatre or St. Paul’s.

Check-in table will open at 7:00 AM.

Bulletins, fans, and meal tickets (for those who signed up for the Ke Kipa ‘Ana Welcome Reception) will be distributed at the check-in table along with color-coded wristbands for those seated in the Cathedral. Tenney Theatre will not require a wristband.

DO NOT LOSE YOUR MEAL TICKETS! Due to specific food counts, we are unable to replace lost meal tickets.

NO seating in the Cathedral will be allowed from 9:45 AM until the end of the procession, so please check-in early.

Seating in the Cathedral will begin at 8:30 am.

If you requested a parking pass, it was e-mailed to you earlier this week.

The parking lot at the Ke‘elikōlani Middle School will close at 6:00 PM, so those who are staying for the reception, please be aware.

The reception after the Ordination is open to all, however, if you need a meal ticket, a limited number will be available at the check-in desk on a first-come, first-served basis.

A locked, unattended room for luggage will be available in Transfiguration Hall at St. Andrew’s Schools. Someone can direct you when you check in.

If you have any questions or did not receive your parking pass via email, please contact Rae Costa at rcosta@episcopalhawaii.org.
