Ordination to the Diaconate of Mr. Wayne Pittard

Bishop Murphy presided at the ordination of Wayne Pittard to the diaconate at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Great Falls, MT. He draws on Mary’s unconditional and unequivocal “Yes” to God’s invitation to put in perspective Wayne Pittard’s willingness to answer the Lord’s call to a vocation. Bishop Murphy asserts that Mr. Pittard’s commitment confounds today’s conventional wisdom – “a wisdom that says obedience to a Church and a Bishop is more freeing than the slavery of a life without a purpose.”
