Every two years, the Archdiocese of Washington ordains several men from the Permenant Diaconate class.  Being called to be a Deacon by the Church is a journey that starts 5 years before Ordination.  This year, Frank Avenilla was called by the Church to the the Holy Order of Deacon and is scheduled to be ordained this Saturday, June 22, 2019 at the Bascilica of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC,  at 9:30 AM.  Everyone is welcome to attend but space is limited.  Others may want to attend but will be unable to for a variety of reasons.  The ordination will be live streamed  on the June 22 at 9:30 AM at:
