DioCal’s first inaugural Juneteenth feast day celebration was in 2021

Jun 1, 2023 | #DidYouKnow, #FunFacts

In 2020, our general convention voted to make Juneteenth a feast day in the Diocese of California. Shortly after, it became an official federal holiday. You can all about it in an article by Episcopal News Service from when this momentous occasion took place.

The liturgies that have been created in our diocese for Juneteenth each year following this decision are available for you to read or use in your own dioceses and congregations.
