We extend our congratulations and prayers to DAN MALO of St. Mary's Parish who is in the Deacon Formation Program for the Diocese of Worcester. On Sunday, February 4 at St. Paul's Cathedral Dan celebrated the Rite of Candidacy with Bishop McManus. This important step halfway through the formation process marks the Church's acceptance of Dan as a candidate for Ordination to the Diaconate. Let us keep our prayers going for Dan over the next two years.
