On May 21, four men will take the penultimate step toward becoming priests in the Diocese of Trenton. Each with his own story of discernment and formation now awaits ordination as a transitional deacon by Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M., during a Mass to be celebrated at 10 a.m. in St. Mary of the Assumption Cathedral, Trenton. The ordination Mass also will be live streamed at dioceseoftrenton.org
