It is with great joy that our friars will gather this Saturday, July 7, 2018,
at the Basilica of St. Stanislaus, Bishop & Martyr (Chicopee, MA)
for the 11: 00 a.m. Diaconate Ordination
of our confrere, Friar Christopher Dudek, OFM Conv.,
with Bishop Mitchell T. Rozanski, of the Diocese of Springfield, MA.

Family, friends and parishioners (the Basilica is Friar Chris’ home parish) will join our friars in celebration of Friar Chris’ continued journey as a Franciscan Friar Conventual of Our Lady of the Angels Province. Soon after, Friar Chris will begin to serve as Deacon for one of our Baltimore, MD pastorates. Once the school year begins, he will add to his ministry, service as Campus Minister and Instructor at our Baltimore City high school ministry – Archbishop Curley High School.

Over these past several years we have shared many “Adventures with Friar Chris” as News Posts. His unique and very personal vocational journey exhibits the joy found in his life as a Franciscan Friar Conventual. As he begins this next big adventure, please keep him in your prayers.
