Ordination of Kate Schneider to the Transitional Diaconate

Join us for the ordination to the Transitional Diaconate of our own, beloved, Kate Schneider!

Kate spent five years with us at the Cathedral, first as Family Ministries Coordinator, before serving as the Director of Family Ministries. She currently serves as the Ministry Associate at Zion Episcopal Church, Douglaston, NY. She is excited by the magic that happens when our rich Episcopal tradition and creativity meet, and she seeks that out in liturgy and learning.

She is grateful to her parents, Mark and Mary Jane Akerman for raising her in this beautiful tradition and living as faithful examples of what it means to be a disciple of Christ, and to her wife, Mariel Schneider who has supported her every step of the way of this long and winding path. Kate is excited to continue to make her home in the Diocese of Long Island and begin her ordained ministry in service to Jesus Christ and His church. We are all so excited to celebrate her ordination at the Cathedral.
