Deacon Kevin Staley-Joyce Ordained

Our own Kevin Staley-Joyce was ordained to the Diaconate in Saint Peter's Basilica this week. Deacon Kevin is a seminarian for Boston at the North American College for the Archdiocese of Boston. All of his brother seminarians at Saint John's send him their prayers and congratulations!
