Acolyte Installation at the North American College
This morning I was able to concelebrate Mass with Cardinal Harvey (Archpriest of the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Wall) who installed one of our seminarians, Mr. Stephen Logue, as an Acolyte. An acolyte is a man who has been specially deputized by the Church to assist at the altar, purify the vessels, and distribute Holy Communion. It was a joy to be able to join Steven as he celebrated this moment and important step as he advances toward the Sacred Priesthood. I'm happy to be able to be a "Harrisburg presence" for our men who are studying here... another of the blessings of this special ministry to the Church - and I hope, to the Diocese.

Thanks for including the pictures. These men have been on my weekly prayer list for some time and it's so nice to have faces to put with the names. See, you are still ministering to your diocese even though you're on the other side of the world.
