RITE OF ORDINATION
Election of Candidates for the Diaconate
The candidates to be ordained deacons are called forward. The Cardinal asks and receives the testimony
to the worthiness of the candidates. The Cardinal declares that the candidates have been chosen for
ordination. The Cardinal says: “We rely on the help of the Lord God and our Savior Jesus Christ, and
choose these men, our brothers, for the Order of the Diaconate,” to which the assembly responds:
Thanks be to God.”

the Priesthood
The candidate to be
ordained a priest is

rely on the help of the
Lord God and our Savior
Jesus Christ, and choose
this man, our brother,
for the priesthood in the
Presbyteral Order,” to
which the assembly
responds: “Thanks be
to God.”

With Profound Gratitude
Today, we offer our deepest gratitude to:
Almighty God for the gift of our vocations to Capuchin life and
ordained ministry in the Church;
• Our brother and Shepherd, Seán Patrick Cardinal O’Malley, for his
example of Capuchin humility and service to the people of the
Archdiocese of Boston, as well for his presence with us today;
• Our parents, Mark and Nancy, Annamaria and Filippo, and Ana and
Pablo, and to all our family members who have been our first teachers
of God's love;
• Our brother, Francis Gasparik, Provincial Minister, and his Council
for their encouragement and support;
• Our Capuchin brothers, especially those who have accompanied us
on our journeys to this day;
• Our Capuchin formators, for showing us by word and deed what it
means to be a follower of Jesus in the way of St. Francis;
• Those with whom we have ministered, for their mentoring, support
and example, especially the priests, staff, and parishioners of South
Boston, East Boston, Dorchester, Brookline, the Boston University
Catholic Center, and the Boston Chinese Catholic Community;
• The faculties of the Boston College School of Theology and Ministry
and St. John Seminary for their part in our academic formation;
• The parishioners of Sacred Heart Parish and the friars of the Sacred
Heart and Saint Clare fraternities, for their hospitality and gracious
welcome;
• Those who helped assisted at this liturgy in any way, but most
especially the musicians, lectors, acolytes, gift bearers, and ministers
of hospitality;
• Our brothers Ernest Bedard, Maurice Moreau and John Shento, for
their gracious assistance in planning and celebrating this liturgy;
• Our family and friends who have gone before us marked with the
sign of faith, especially the deceased members of the Janeczko,
Zimmerer, Vricella, Garcia, and Limjuco families.
