The Deacon's Bench
I haven’t seen any images yet, but The Catholic Globe reported last month:
After almost five years of formation, five men of the Diocese of Sioux City will be ordained to the permanent diaconate on May 12.
Bishop Walker Nickless will ordain Michael Higgins, Brad Magill, Don McGuire, David Penton and Dale Tigges at 10 a.m. at Cathedral of the Epiphany in Sioux City.
This will be the 22nd deacon class since 1977 and the seventh class to be ordained by Bishop Nickless. This class of men started their formation in August 2013.
Read on and you’ll learn the men include a farmer and semi-driver for turkeys, a swine management consultant, a construction worker, an EMS coordinator, and a lawyer. (I think managing swine is an overlooked but important skill for anyone working in the Church.)
Congratulations, brothers and welcome! Ad multos annos!
