Ordination to the Diaconate: Seven Candidates At 7:00 PM on August 10, the feast of St. Lawrence, Deacon and Martyr Archbishop Prendergast will ordain seven men to the diaconate—six permanent diaconate candidates and one who is a candidate for the priesthood—in St. Finnan’s Church, Alexandria.
The men being ordained and their home parishes are:
Guy Cote (Blessed Sacrament, Cornwall);
Steven Gaudet, candidate for the priesthood (St. Bernard, Finch);
Chris Moffat (Blessed Sacrament, Ottawa)
Richard Murphy (St. Bernard, Finch)
Kevin O’Shea (St. Maurice, Ottawa)
Phil Richards (Divine Infant, Orleans)
Tom Sudsbear (Holy Redeemer, Kanata)
Given the large group of candidates, the number of persons who can attend is restricted; thus, a representative number of clergy will be able to attend by invitation. Please keep these men and their wives and families in your thoughts and prayers.
