Eight Deacons Make Profession of Faith and Oath of Fidelity
March 23, 2026
On March 18, 2026, seminarians and faculty gathered for solemn Evening Prayer. During this rite, members of the fourth theology class made their Profession of Faith and Oath of Fidelity in preparation for their ordinations to the priesthood.
The faithful who are called to exercise an office in the name of the church are required to make the profession of faith according to the formula approved by the Apostolic See (cf. Canon 833). By stating this profession, they are promising a full acceptance of church teachings as well as adhering to the teachings of the pope.
Please join us in prayer for all fourth theology members as they move into the final stage of their formation for Holy Orders. Those who made their profession of faith on this particular night are:
Christopher Aubrey
, Diocese of Worcester;
Giris Azize
, Archdiocese of Boston;
Stephen Baruffi
, Archdiocese of Boston;
Daniel Bassile
, Diocese of Orlando;
Sinclair Cushmore
, Diocese of Orlando;
John Ippolito
, Archdiocese of New York;
Paul Landi
, Diocese of Beaumont;
Robert Rooney
, Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas.
