21 Permanent Deacons Ordained in Diocese of Providence

“The Diocese of Providence was richly blessed Saturday when 21 members of the Class of 2013 were ordained to the permanent diaconate on the Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord by Bishop Thomas J. Tobin in the Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul.”

When I taught at Saint Patrick School, I had the blessing to work with two of these new deacons – Steve Raymond and Eduardo Birbuet. Well done, Steve and Eduardo!!! May you and the other members of your class be richly blessed as begin your diaconate ministry.
