Christ Prince of Peace & St Lawrence               

     It is with great joy that we will soon be celebrating the Ordination to the Diaconate of our own Andrew Hamilton, which will take place at Blessed Sacrament Cathedral in Greensburg on Saturday, May 21^st at 10:00AM.  There will be a reception in the Cathedral Hall immediately following the Ordination liturgy. Our parish will be providing bus transportation (free of charge) to the Cathedral for the Ordination, which will depart from Christ, Prince of Peace at 8:15 AM and will return at approximately 2:00 PM.  The total number of seats on the bus is 56, so please contact the Parish Office as soon as possible if you are interested.  Please know that anyone is welcome to attend the Ordination, although seating is on a first come-first served basis.  There will be a block of pews reserved at the Cathedral for those who come on the bus.   
     We will be celebrating a Mass of Thanksgiving for Deacon Andrew at Christ, Prince of Peace that same day, May 21^st, at the 5:00 PM Mass.  At this liturgy, Andrew will serve as a deacon for the first time at our parish and preach his first homily.  There will be a reception immediately following Mass at the Latin American Club, to which all are invited. Deacon Andrew will also be assisting and preaching at the 11:00 AM Mass the following day, May 22^nd. We are very much looking forward to celebrating with Andrew as he begins his ordained ministry in the Church.  Please keep him in prayer during this final period of preparation for his Ordination to the Diaconate.
