Our annual Celebration of Ministry is EMLI's evening for honoring parish-based ministries across Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk. Each year, we gather with Bishop Provenzano and ministry leaders to celebrate the ways faith comes alive in service to others. This year, the Celebration of Ministry will return to The Inn at New Hyde Park on October 9, 2025, at 6:00 PM.
We’re proud to honor two remarkable ministries at this dinner:
The Outreach Ministries of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Patchogue, for opening their doors to a growing range of ministries—including a lunch program, food pantry, thrift shop, and more.
The Micah Breakfast Ministry of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church in Brooklyn, for restoring a vital breakfast program and providing community to neighbors in East New York.
Through shared stories, a meal, and the recognition of outstanding ministries, this joyful evening is a chance to give thanks for the life-changing work happening throughout the Diocese and to be inspired to continue building a more loving, just world.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you.
