Lattime will be the eighth bishop of the Diocese of Alaska, which includes 50 parishes and missions, according to the diocese.
He has been the rector of St. Michael's Church in Geneseo, N.Y., since 2000 and has served as chaplain at Canterbury Fellowship and as associate rector of R.E. Lee Memorial Church in Lexington, Va.
The Alaska diocese office is in Fairbanks and that's where Lattime will be based, the diocese said.
The chief consecrator on Saturday will be the Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States.
