Bishop Earl Fernandes will ordain diocesan seminarian Daniel Colby to the diaconate on Friday, Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. at Columbus St. Joseph Cathedral, 212 E. Broad St.
The ordination is open to anyone who would like to attend, and light refreshments will be served in the undercroft following Mass. An RSVP is requested by Friday, Nov. 3 to the diocesan Office of Vocations.
Colby will join four diocesan seminarians who were ordained to the diaconate earlier this year.
He is currently studying at the Pontifical College Josephinum. After being ordained as a deacon, he will return to the seminary to complete his theology studies before his anticipated ordination to the priesthood in May 2024.
Colby, a parishioner at Columbus Immaculate Conception Church, is a native of Raleigh, North Carolina and moved to Columbus in 2014. He was raised Presbyterian and entered the Catholic Church in 2016.
