Military Prayer List
To view the list, click here.
The Military Prayer List was established by request of Bishop Diocesan J. Jon Bruno in February 2003, at the beginning of the Iraq war. It is maintained by the Bishop's Office. Any Episcopalian in the diocese is welcome to add to the list the names of family, friends and loved ones who are on active duty. The listed service member need not be an Episcopalian.
To add the name of an active duty service member to the list, click here to send an email message. Please include the service person's name and branch of the military. If the service member attends an Episcopal church, please include the name and city of the congregation. If he or she is a friend or relative of a church member, please include the name and congregation of the person requesting the listing. (Please include the city in which the congregation is located so that the name can be listed correctly.)
When the service member is no longer on active duty or in harm's way, please click here and let the Bishop's Office know, so that the list can be updated.
