Ordination to the Diaconate

Join the Archdiocese of Atlanta as three men are ordained to the transitional diaconate. In the journey to the priesthood, a man will spend some time as a deacon, which is a ministry of Word and service. God willing, they will later be ordained to the priesthood. The three ordinands for this year are: Benjamin Thomsen, Juan Carlos Villota Viteri and Joseph Wagner.

Seats in the cathedral are limited this year to family and priests, but the ordination Mass will be available on our livestream and facebook pages.
