Aissa Hillebrand Ordination to the Sacred Order of Priests – June 13, 2026

The Cathedral was packed with clerics, relatives and friends praying and wishing well the Ordination of five men and women into the Episcopal Sacred Order of Priests. It was a moving service, presided over by Bishop Provenzano, with Assistant Bishops, Priests, Deacons and lay church members joining together to consecrate and welcome new Priests into the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island.

Congratulations to the new Rev. Aissa Hillebrand. Many members of Grace Church attended the service to recognize and bear witness to Aissa becoming an Episcopal Priest.

We all wish her and all the new Priests God’s blessings as they enter this new part of their lives. We are very proud of Aissa, recognizing the many years of hard work, prayer and introspection needed to achieve this most worthy goal.
