Bishop Whalen will ordain seminarians to the Diaconate at St. Joseph’s Seminary on Friday, May 30, at 9 a.m. One of the men being ordained is John Ippolito who shared with us his journey through seminary.
We sat down with him for an interview via Zoom ahead of his ordination to talk about hearing God’s call and how he sees his mission as a priest for God’s people.
