The Deacon's Bench
It was another combined ordination: four permanent and two transitional deacons.
I received this email Wednesday from Deacon Roger R. Heidt, with the picture above:
4 Permanent Deacons and 2 Transitional Deacons were ordained on May 24, 2018 at St. Josephs’ Cathedral in Sioux Falls, SD by Bishop Paul J. Swain. The newly ordained Permanent Deacons are : right to left, Deacon Glenn Ridder, Deacon Maurice Barrett, Bishop Paul J. Swain, Deacon Timothy Dickes, Deacon Thane Barnier and Deacon Roger Heidt (Director of Deacon Formation). Picture courtesy of Michael Brown Photography.
Congratulations, brothers! Ad multos annos!
