Due to the COVID-19 crisis, and after consulting with Deacons Joshua Bertrand, Connor Penn and Drew Woodke, Bishop Parkes has decided to reschedule the date of their Ordination to the Priesthood, which was scheduled to take place on May 16, 2020.

The new date will be Saturday, August 15, 2020, the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It will be held at 11:00 am at the Cathedral of St. Jude the Apostle (5815 5th Avenue North, St. Petersburg).

Please continue to keep these men, as well as all of our seminarians, in your prayers.
