As you may be aware, one of the blessings of our parish is that a parishioner, Salvatore Petro, is preparing for Ordination to the Permanent Diaconate. We are happy to share the news that Sal has fulfilled a significant component of the program which is principally academic—a three year study of theology.
On May 22, Sal was awarded a Master of Arts degree by Georgian Court University (I hasten to add...with a cumulative GPA of 3.78! No small accomplishment!)
Join me in congratulating Sal on this milestone in his path to Ordination. Two years remain in the program, during which the candidates will focus on the spiritual, pastoral, and administrative aspects of diaconal ministry!
