On Saturday, August 17th, the Rt Rev. Bernard Nowicki conferred tonsure, minor orders, and the sub- diaconate on Mr. Anthony Prince of Holy Cross Parish in Syracuse, NY; tonsure, minor orders, the sub-diaconate, and the ordination to the diaconate of Rev. Mr. Michel Seward of St. John the Baptist Parish in Hazelton, PA; ordination to the diaconate of Rev. Mr. Donald Wunderlich of Heart of Jesus Parish in Bayonne, NJ. Holy Mass and these ordinations took place at Holy Mother of Sorrows Parish in DuPont, PA.
The liturgies, Holy Mass, and music were beautiful and so meaningful. Our thanks to parishioners, family, and clergy who attended and assisted in these liturgies.
The prayer of our bishop and the laying on of hands — conferring the Holy Spirit is more than words and gestures; it is the power of grace in our lives and Jesus’ continuing ministry among us through His ordained ministers who baptize, who proclaim the gospel, who fulfill their sacred ministry. Let us pray for Don, Michael and Anthony as they go forth to carry out their ministries among us. Let us also pray for more vocations so God’s Holy Church may have the workers it needs.
