St. Jean Baptiste parish and school in Manhattan celebrated a historic milestone—the 125th anniversary of the collaboration between the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament and the Congregation of Notre Dame.
Highlights included a beautiful Mass led by Bishop Whalen, reflections on a legacy of service that continues to shine, and a lively reception in the school gym.
Jack Emery Kristensen and Ian Paul Christopher Mendoza were among 18 men from the Pontifical North American College ordained to the transitional diaconate on Oct. 1 at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
