Deacon Joshua Mayer ('03)
The video above is of the ordination Mass of the Rev. Mr. Joshua Mayer (’03), whom the Most Rev. James Wall, Bishop of Gallup (N.M.), ordained to the transitional diaconate on May 24. Deacon Mayer is a seminarian at St. John Vianney Theological Seminary in Denver, Colorado, where he studies under the direction of a fellow Thomas Aquinas College alumnus, Rev. Gary Selin (’89), the school’s formation director.

Frater Jacob (Joseph Hsieh ’06)
Meanwhile, the College has learned the joyful news that another alumnus will also shortly be entering the transitional diaconate. Frater Jacob (Joseph Hsieh ’06), O.Praem., will be ordained on June 21 at the hands of the Most Rev. Kevin William Vann, Bishop of Orange (Calif.) and the College’s 2013 Convocation Speaker. Frater Jacob recently appeared on this blog when he and several of his Norbertine confreres performed at Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles in May.

May God bless both these young men in their new ministries and as they prepare for the priesthood!
