Two days ago, our brother, Abishai Vase, was ordained to the diaconate by Archbishop Paul Hinder, Apostolic Vicar of Southern Arabia at St. Joseph's Cathedral in Abu Dhabi. Deacon Abishai is on pastoral year in the Apostolic Vicariate, after which he will return to his final year at Saint John’s. The entire Saint John’s community rejoices with Deacon Abishai and all who were at this wonderful celebration in Abu Dhabi with the consolation that, despite the miles that may separate us, we are all joined at the Altar!
