Episcopal Ordinations

When President Fernandez first announced that we would be attending the Episcopal ordination I was really happy and excited for this opportunity. I’ve attended priestly ordinations in Rome in 2004, but never an Episcopal ordination, so I was curious to see exactly how it would proceed.
