Congratulations, Deacon Christian!

With praise and gratitude to almighty God, Bishop Gregory Parkes invites you to attend the ordination of Deacon Christian Galvan on Saturday, May 20, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. at the Cathedral of St. Jude the Apostle in St. Petersburg. This will be a beautiful opportunity for our entire Diocese to gather and celebrate this most joyous occasion!! The ordination of a priest is one of the most beautiful liturgies in the Catholic faith. If you have never been to an ordination – this is your year! We encourage you to bring yourself and your family to this Mass. Also, please fervently pray for young men and women to answer the call to priesthood and religious life.
