IVE Ordination to the Diaconate

You will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8)

On Saturday June 10th, 2006 at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception Theodore Cardinal McCarrick presided over the Holy Mass in which he ordained three seminarians from the Institute of the Incarnate Word to the diaconate. We congratulate the following new deacons (in photo from right to left):

• Deacon Dermot Francis McLauglin
• Deacon Anthony Jesus Melendez
• Deacon Jeffrey Ronald Obniski

We were also grateful for the presence of Fr. Carlos Walker, IVE, the Vicar General of the Institute of the Incarnate Word, who came from Rome to join us in this joyous occasion.

We pray for the perseverance of our newly ordained deacons.
