Dear Saint Markans,

On Friday, December 9 at 6 p.m., Saint Mark's will welcome 10 ordinands from across the diocese in a ceremony presided over by Bishop Craig Loya. You are invited to attend, as you are all considered partners in their ministry. For full details including livestream information, visit the ECMN website here.

In this week's video, you'll hear from our four ordinands:

Bryan Bliss, Jay (John) Phelan, Sarah Hoch and Tony Hunt. I think you'll enjoy learning about how these individuals were called as well as how they plan to serve.

I ask you to keep each one of these individuals and their families in your prayers as they take this important step.

Bless you, each and always,

Paul+
