Three transitional deacons ordained in Madison

On May 23, Bishop Robert Morlino ordained three new transitional deacons for the Diocese of Madison.
The [ordained men] include Chahm Gahng, Christopher Gernetzke, and Tafadzwa Kushamba. Two other men -- Scott Emerson and Gabriel Lopez-Betanzos -- will be ordained to the transitional diaconate for the Diocese of Madison on October 2 at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, where they are studying.
The Badger Catholic was on hand for the ordination Mass. Here are some of the sights from a special evening.

There's really nothing quite like a Mass involving dozens of priests

God bless our three new deacons as they prepare to be ordained priests next year!
