This issue also contains information about priest and deacon ordinations and jubilees celebrating significant years of service for clergy and religious in the diocese.
In addition, there is a tribute to the top students in Catholic high schools across the diocese, information about the second in-pew collection to benefit Catholic Charities’ Emergency Assistance Services, clergy assignment changes, Things to Do listings and clergy obituaries.
