This special edition of Currents News introduces you to the seven deacons who will be ordained priests in the Diocese of Brooklyn on Saturday, June 28, 2025, at 11 a.m. at the Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph.
Here are some of the holy men the special will feature:
– Deacon Robert Ruggiero is the oldest in this year’s ordination class. He took his time discerning the call, but his age could be an advantage.
– Deacon Benoit Chavanne may be thousands of miles away from where he grew up in France, but he says he feels right at home in the Diocese of Brooklyn.
– Deacon Alvaro Morales Sanchez thought he found his calling under the hood of a car, but God had other plans for this former diesel mechanic.
– Deacon Gerardo Tlatelpa went from serving food to serving the Lord – he gave up his day job after going on retreat.
