Celebration of Life: Bishop Frank S. Cerveny

Описание: June 4, 1933 ~ January 7, 2026
Bishop Cerveny began his ordained ministry in 1958 as an assistant at the Church of the Resurrection in suburban Miami Shores. He was called to Trinity Parish in New York City in 1960 and became intimately involved with inner-city work, especially among the poor of Manhattan's Lower East Side, Brooklyn, and Chinatown. In 1963, he was called to Jackson, Tennessee, where he worked tirelessly for racial reconciliation and the integration of churches at the height of segregation. The family moved to Knoxville in 1968, where Cerveny ministered at St. John’s Church and helped form an ecumenical coalition that fostered missional partnerships across the city. In 1972, he became Dean of St. John’s Cathedral in Jacksonville before being consecrated Bishop of Florida in 1974.
