Seven men ordained Transitional Deacons, final steps towards priesthood

The Archdiocese of New Orleans was blessed on Saturday as Archbishop Gregory Aymond ordained seven men as transitional deacons, the final step before ordination to the priesthood. Four of the men will serve in the archdiocese: Deacons David Frank, Cletus Orji, Thien The Nguyen and Vincent Nguyen.

Three men will serve outside the Archdiocese of New Orleans: Deacons Felix Hinambona (ATororo); John Oyugi (Franciscan Missionaries of Hope) and Deacon Peter Nghi Nguyen (Missionaries of Faith).

Please continue to keep these men in your prayers as they journey to the priesthood.
