Archbishop Robert J. Carlson ordained six men to the transitional diaconate on Saturday, April 30, at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis. He presented Laurent Okitakatski Odjango with a book of the Gospels commissioning him as a herald of Christ.

Three men from Africa who were ordained transitional deacons last week were cheered along by their "family" in attendance at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis.

Joseph Lugalambi and Matthias Njuba from the Diocese of Masaka, Uganda, and Laurent-Bernard Okitakatshi Odjango of the Diocese of Tshumbe, Democratic Republic of Congo, are among 15 international seminarians at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary in Shrewsbury.
