Bishop Olmsted will institute the men of the 2022 diaconate formation cohort into the Ministry of Acolyte. This Ministry will set these men aside in a special way for service at the Altar to assist the Priest and Deacon during liturgical celebrations. It is the last step in preparation to receive Holy Orders next Fall.

Mass will begin at 6 p.m. followed by a reception in the parish hall at St. Thomas the Apostle at 2312 E. Campbell Ave, Phoenix.
