A priest in Louisiana writes:<\/p>\n

Knowing how you like to publicize permanent deacons\u2019 ordinations around the country, know that eight were ordained in the Catholic Diocese of Baton Rouge at their St. Joseph Cathedral this past Saturday, June 8. Good men, all of them. And I\u2019m not saying that just because two of \u2019em are from my Cathedral Parish!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the caption on Facebook:<\/p>\n

The new permanent deacons of the Diocese of Baton Rouge just after their ordination (L-R, Stephen Ourso, David Dawson, Mike Thompson, Louis McGinnis, Bishop Robert Muench, Tommy Benoit, Mark Berard, Leon Murphy, and Chauvin Wilkinson; photo courtesy\u00a0John Ballance<\/a>)\u00a0\u2014 with\u00a0Stephen Ourso<\/a>,\u00a0David Dawson<\/a>,\u00a0John Louis McGinnis Jr.<\/a>,\u00a0Robert William Muench<\/a>,\u00a0Mark Berard<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Chauvin Wilkinson<\/a>\u00a0at\u00a0St. Joseph Cathedral<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Is that a happy-looking bishop, or what?<\/p>\n
