Rochester seminarian ordained deacon at St. Peter's Basilica

From Catholic Courier (www.catholiccourier.com)

ROME — With a big smile across his face, 30-year-old seminarian James Muscatella processed into a packed St. Peter's Basilica Sept. 28 as he embarked on his next step toward becoming a priest.

A seminarian of the Diocese of Rochester, he was among 18 men ordained to the transitional diaconate that day. The newly ordained deacons, representing 14 U.S. dioceses and with the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, are studying for the priesthood at the Pontifical North American College in Rome.
