Deacon Alan Bridges concludes his summer assignment in our parish this weekend. He will soon return to Mount Saint Mary’s Seminary, Emmitsburg, MD to complete his final year of theological studies in preparation for Ordination to the Sacred Priesthood. We offer our thanks to Deacon Alan for giving so much of himself to us over these weeks, and we hope that he will return to us when the seminary is in recess for holidays during the academic year.

Fr. James Smith, who served at our parish the year prior to his ordination, will be installed by Bishop David M O’Connell as Pastor of St Isaac Jogues Parish (Marlton) next Sunday, June 30, at 11 am. We congratulate him and wish him many years of happiness.

Our celebration of Pentecost takes on the added joy of witnessing the beginning of the diaconal ministry of Nelson Abreu. Completing five years of academic and spiritual formation, he makes his generous “Yes” to the Lord. He will be assisting at the 4:00 pm and 11:00 am Masses. Let us support him with our fervent prayer asking the Lord to make his ministry fruitful.

Among those being ordained next weekend will be Alan Bridges, our diocesan seminarian and student of Mount Saint Mary’s Seminary, Emmitsburg, MD. Alan will be ordained as “transitional deacon” i.e., one on the path to priestly ordination next year. We are delighted that Bishop O’Connell has chosen to assign Deacon Bridges to our parish for this transitional year.
