Southeast Florida Area Knights and Dames attended the Ordination and Installation of the Most Reverend Manuel de Jesús Rodríguez as the Sixth Bishop of Palm Beach. On Tuesday, February 24, the ordination Mass of over 1,000 people filled the pews at the Cathedral of Saint Ignatius Loyola in Palm Beach Gardens.

Knights and Dames were part of the procession along with the Knights of Columbus, Knights and Dames of the Holy Sepulchre, and hundreds of deacons, priests, and bishops.

Bishop Rodríguez presented the papal mandate authorizing his ordination to the crowd in the pews. 

Welcoming the new shepherd was a joyful, spiritual, and memorable event.
