Bishop J. Douglas Deshotel will ordain seven seminarians to the priesthood during a Mass at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist. Those being ordained are Deacons Blake Steven Dubroc, Korey Ray LaVergne, Stephen Andre Pellessier, Benjamin James Pitre, Andrew Philip Schumacher, Brent Lee Smith and Joseph Kyle White.
Due to ticketed seating only in the Cathedral and limited standing room, live stream viewing of the Ordination Mass will be broadcast in the Cathedral Parish Hall. Holy Communion will be distributed. The Ordination Mass may also be viewed live on our Diocesan website, www.diolaf.org.
