Various photos from the LV Diocese "Mass of Sending" held August 16th at Elizabeth Ann Seaton.
LV is so fortunate to have 10 seminarians preparing for the priesthood this year. There were 8 returning, and Bishop Thomas accepted two more candidates at this mass.
Also included are photos of the presentation made by our State Officers to Bishop Gregory Gordon and Bishop George Leo Thomas of their portion of the Seminarian Raffle tickets.
Worthy State Deputy Joe as part of the presentation made a commanding request of those in attendance to become members and to the Priests to help support this effort, he would like to see this amount larger next year.
