Seminarian Installation to Acolyte and Lector
As a way to highlight our continued need for vocations to the priesthood, educate the lay faithful, and allow the priests of our diocese, prospective seminarians, and families of seminarians witness this step of the priesthood, we will be celebrating the Installations to the Ministry of Acolyte and Lector by our candidates for theology locally.
The ceremony will be celebrated during a Mass at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception on Monday, April 14th at 6:00 p.m.
The following seminarians are slated to be installed to the Ministry of Acolyte this year: Thomas Elliott
The following seminarians are slated to be installed to the Ministry of Lector this year: Dominic Jirak and Conrad Sissell.
Following the ceremony a light reception will be hosted in the gathering space by the Office of Vocations.
I look forward to the celebration of this ministry in our diocese. It is a grace-filled event for the families of the men, our vocations efforts and the people of God.
