18 Men Ordained to the Diaconate Thursday Morning at St. Peter's Basilica | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

18 men from the Pontifical North American College in Rome were ordained to the diaconate this morning. During the celebration inside Saint Peter's Basilica, they prostrated themselves in front of the altar and dedicated their lives in service to God's Church and His people. Ordination to the diaconate marks the last stage in seminary formation before ordination to the priesthood. Deacon David Thomas Lee from the Diocese of Nashville, Tennessee, joins to tell us more about the ordination and what it was like for him, especially being in St. Peter's Basilica. Deacon David shares more about the diaconate and where it fits in the path to the priesthood. He explains what it's like being at the North American College and also fills us in on his faith journey and going from Tennessee to Rome. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
