Meanwhile, here in the RC Diocese of Albany, we welcomed new deacons.

From left to right in the photo are: Robert Sweeney, Brian Slezak, Joseph Romand, Andrew Grebe, Richard DiCaprio, and James Davis. Slezak and Davis are the transitional deacons.

No priests, this year! In nearby Columbia County, 5 of their priests, will be retiring this year. Those parishes are now without any priest to consecrate the Eucharist and will have to rely upon visiting priests to consecrate the hosts for their weekend, priestless, services.

Compare this image with that in the above article. God help the Diocese of Albany!

Let’s just say I’m not a fan of the permanent diaconate and leave it at that.

Aren’t you supposed to get a new bishop this year?
