The Deacon's Bench
During the Mass of ordination to the diaconate Saturday, Feb. 7, Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory reminded the 2015 class of men ordained that the meaning of the word deacon is “one who serves.”
Twelve men were ordained to the permanent diaconate in the Archdiocese of Atlanta at the Cathedral of Christ the King. The new deacons are Christopher Andronaco, David Baker, William Brown, Bernardo Buzeta, Brian Campbell, Michael Chavez, Jerry Daly, William Donohue, Derek Gant, John Harvey, James Steven Thacker and John Timme.
In addition, seminarian Jorge Carranza was ordained as a transitional deacon. He is scheduled to be ordained a priest in June.
Auxiliary Bishops Luis R. Zarama and David P. Talley and priests of the archdiocese concelebrated the Mass.
