Welcome, Deacon Alan Bridges

Among those being ordained next weekend will be Alan Bridges, our diocesan seminarian and student of Mount Saint Mary’s Seminary, Emmitsburg, MD.

Alan will be ordained as “transitional deacon” i.e., one on the path to priestly ordination next year. We are delighted that Bishop O’Connell has chosen to assign Deacon Bridges to our parish for this transitional year. He will be with us for eight weeks this summer, carrying out parish ministry as well as clerical duties at the Diocesan Tribunal. Returning in September to his final year at the Seminary, Deacon Bridges will assist us during his school recesses.
