We are pleased to announce that three men – Jake Mullin, Christopher Pugh and Joseph Yuson – have been called to the Diaconate. They are from the Archdioceses of Edmonton, Winnipeg, and the Diocese of Victoria respectively, and will be ordained as Transitional Deacons this spring and summer.
The transitional diaconate is the last phase of formation for a seminarian. As an ordained deacon, he can baptize, witness marriages, preside at funeral services outside of Mass, and preach the homily at Mass.
