In the spirit of joy and gratitude, our parish community, together with parents, siblings, relatives, and friends, celebrate Mason Wiggins, who was ordained to the Diaconate on Saturday, April 6, 2019, by Bishop Frank J. Dewane. Our prayers, support, and thanksgiving surround Deacon Mason and his family. The Diaconate, with its own distinct identity, is a step on its way to the priesthood. The ministry of the diaconate finds its fulfillment in an office at the service at the altar, assisting at Mass, baptisms, and weddings; an office of preaching and evangelization; and an office of service to the holy people of God. May God, our All-Powerful Father, bless you and strengthen your desire to fulfill His Will in your gift as an ordained minister of His Holy Church.
