Earlier this month found us in Our Cathedral City celebrating the Ordination of a dear friend to the Diaconate
Six years of study and discernment, and finally Deacon S__ was ready to be ordained a Deacon
Oh this thrilling moment when the deacon (or priest) lies prostrate before Our Lord, always gives me goosebumps
Laying of hands
Robing ceremony, first the stole
and then the chasuble
Assisting at his first Mass as a Deacon
Hopefully next year we’ll be celebrating Deacon’s Ordination to the Priesthood
