Ordination and Installation

Thousands of the faithful gathered at the Pensacola Bay Center Tuesday, August 22 while viewers watched worldwide the live broadcast of the Ordination and Installation of the sixth bishop of Pensacola-Tallahassee, the Most Reverend William A. Wack CSC. To the ethereal music of a 150-member choir singing in both English and Spanish, the Knights of Columbus in full regalia lined the aisles as a procession of 235 priests, 40 deacons, and 18 bishops entered the arena and moved towards the raised platform, followed by the principal consecrator, Archbishop of Miami Thomas J. Wenski, and co-consecrators Bishop Joe S. Vasquez of Austin and Bishop Daniel R. Jenky CSC of Peoria.
