and Lord willing Deacon John Washington will be ordained this May 2024.
Deacon John Washington is unique because when he came to UNG he wasn’t Catholic, Joined RCIA, Came into the Church during the Easter Vigil and after graduating from UNG entered our Archdiocesan Seminarian program. After two years at Mundelein Seminary in Chicago, John did a summer assignment with the Diocese of Yakima and transferred to their diocese.
We have invited Deacon John to come and say a Mass of Thanksgiving on Corpus Christi 2024 and be our speaker.
