Pixie dust, anyone?<\/p>\n

Here are the Fab Five (Disney fans know who THOSE are) for central Florida.<\/p>\n

Details, from Florida Catholic<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was a long journey of formation and a long drive into Orlando to celebrate the ordination to the diaconate for George and Kayette Ferraioli of St. John Neumann Parish.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe prayed on the way over,\u201d said newly ordained Deacon George Ferraioli of the hour-plus trip from Lakeland to St. James Cathedral where the Mass was celebrated. \u201cWe talked about the journey so far.\u201d
\nThe couple talked for two years to discern \u201cto see if (the diaconate) was right for us,\u201d Deacon Ferraioli said, adding the journey also included more than five years of formation.<\/p>\n

Along with Deacon Ferraioli, four other men \u2014 Israel Col\u00f3n Sr., Mark M. King, William Scott Lindeman and William P. Timmes \u2014 embarked on the journey to the diaconate and gathered at the cathedral to receive the third level of the sacrament of holy orders June 11.<\/p>\n

As the service proceeded, Bishop John Noonan proclaimed, \u201cWe choose these brothers to the order of the diaconate. In a few minutes we will pray over you and I will lay hands on you. Your ordination is not an election but a sacramental act of consecrating. This sacramental act of ordination is a visible sign of the invisible grace of God.\u201d<\/p>\n

After an invitation to prayer, that special moment came \u2014 the laying on of hands of each one and the prayer of consecration by Bishop Noonan.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe laying on of hands is one of the most humbling experiences imaginable,\u201d said Deacon Lindeman. \u201cSince it is a ritual that goes back to the earliest days of the Church, you feel as if you are in the company of countless servants who have served the Church. It was also an experience not just between the bishop and me, but an opportunity to feel the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit and to respond in confirmation before God, our commitment to serve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Watching her husband be ordained, along with the other four men, was \u201coverwhelming\u201d said Kayette Ferraioli, adding, \u201cIt was just beautiful. It was just very touching and moving.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
