ORDINATION THIS WEEKEND

Rev. Mr. Scott A. Belina of St  Anthony's will be ordained a Priest of the Diocese of Ogdensburg
this Saturday May 25, 2013 at St. Mary's Cathedral.

Rev. Mr. Belina was Ordained a Transitional Deacon on May 25, 2012 in a ceremony held at
St. Patrick's. 

Father Belina's first Mass will be celebrated at St. Anthony's on the afternoon of May 26, 2013.
His first Pastoral Assignment will be at St. Mary's Cathedral Parish and in the Chancery.

Two men from our parishes are completing their studies and preparation for 
Ordination as Permanent Deacons.

Donald Wilder from St. Patrick's and Guy Javarone from St. Anthony's are
to be ordained by Bishop LaValley on October 5, 2013.  That ceremony will also occur
at St. Mary's Cathedral.

We offer our prayers for each of these men as they complete their programs
of formation.
