We are happy to announce that Bishop Dennis J. Sullivan has named Samuel J. Spoto, a member of our parish, to the Order of Deacon. The church rejoices in the commitment to the ministry which Samuel J. Spoto has made and we announce it to you with great joy. The ordination is to take place at 10:30 am on October 24, 2020, at Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Mary, Mother of Mercy Parish in Glassboro, New Jersey. Unfortunately, due to the current restrictions on the number of attendees allowed at gatherings, only those who receive a personal invitation are permitted to attend the ordination. Nonetheless, all of us can pray for our brother Samuel and all the deacon candidates who will be ordained.
