Bishop Alan M. Gates announced Oct. 1 that, beginning this winter, priests will be ordained individually in the parishes to which they have been called, rather than at one ordination service in January, which has been the recent diocesan practice.
Ordinations to the diaconate, both transitional and vocational, will continue to take place in a single service a the Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Boston.
Questions about these ordination services may be directed to the hosting parish or to the Rev. Canon Edie Dolnikowski, Canon for Ordained Vocations, at 617-482-4826, ext. 514 or edie@diomass.org.
Updated 10/28/2015 to include Dec. 19 service for the Rev. Matthew Lindeman.
