Mass of Ordination to the Transitional Diaconate

Join us Saturday, June 14, at 10am, in the Cathedral.

His Eminence, Cardinal Robert McElroy, Archbishop of Washington will serve as Principal Celebrant and Homilist for this Mass on Saturday, June 14, 2025, at 10am at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle.

An Ordination is a sacramental ceremony in which a man becomes a deacon, priest, or bishop and is enabled to minister in Christ’s name and that of the Church. A deacon is an ordained minister of the Catholic Church. A transitional deacon is a seminarian en route to the priesthood. (Livestream coming soon.)

All the faithful are invited to attend this event to celebrate this Ordination!
