Three Brothers Ordained Deacons

Welcome Our Three New Deacons

On Saturday, December 12, 2009, our brothers Dominic Colangelo, O.P., Eduardo Logiste O.P, and Jorge Rativa, O.P. were ordained to the Order of Deacons. The Mass of Ordination began at 10:00 am at Saint Dominic Parish Church in New Orleans Louisiana with the Most Rev. Gregory Aymond, Archbishop of New Orleans. After the ordination ceremony the new deacons gathered with their Dominican brothers, sisters, family and friends in the Parish gym to celebrate this very important moment in their lives.

The brothers will now move to their new assignments where they will begin their diaconal ministries. Br. Dominic will be serving at St. Dominic parish in New Orleans. Brother Eduardo will minister at Holy Ghost parish in Hammond, Louisiana and Brother Jorge will serve on the Campus Ministry staff at Duke University. Please keep these brothers in your prayers as they begin their new ministries.
