I attended the ordination of our own Tom Macdonald to the order of deacons this morning. Tom and I share the same home parish and I saw some familiar faces from there. Tom is two years ahead of me in his studies in Rome. Congratulations Tom!
This would be a good time to mention a bit about our parish vocations. We have 2 deacons already, Art and Dick. We have 2 men in permanent deacon formation, Bill and Fran. We have nun, soon to make her final vows, Kelly. Tom and I round out the vocation list for clergy and sisters. We also have many parishioners who take their vocations of mother, father, husband, wife or single very seriously. It is a great parish.
Many of our men entering 4th year at Blessed John have been ordained as deacons as well this summer. I'm looking forward to seeing them this fall and serving with them at Mass.
