BBN / JUNE 2020

Configured more closely to Christ On the weekend of 6-7 June, two of our Broken Bay seminarians took another step closer to the Priesthood. Sam French and Roger Delmonte were both admitted to the Candidacy for Holy Orders by Bishop Anthony Randazzo. Sam was admitted on Saturday 6 June at Woy Woy Parish, and Roger on Sunday 7 June at Hornsby Cathedral Parish. Candidacy is a public commitment on the part of the community of the Church to accompany these men as they move to the next stage of their formation for the priesthood. “The people of Broken Bay will pray for you as you prepare to lay down your life for their sanctification – in the same way that Christ gave his life on the Cross,” said Bishop Anthony.

“They share your hope in the promise of Christ, who rose from the dead.” “The path that lays before you is not solely one to ordination. It is a path that you will walk accompanied by the community of the Church. The people of Broken Bay will accompany you as you are configured more closely to Christ.” Sam and Roger join fellow seminarian Aldrin Valdehueza, who was admitted to the Candidacy for Holy Orders in November 2019. All three are now in their final preparations before ordination to the diaconate.
