Deacon David Gaydos ordination to Holy Priesthood took place on Sunday, October 14th in our parish. He has served for the past thirty years as a Deacon in the Central Diocese and helped throughout the diocese when priests were sick or took their vacation time. Fr. David is now serving as a supply priest helping Bishop Bernard Nowicki with any needs in the Diocese.
Rt. Rev. Bernard Nowicki presided the Holy Mass of Ordination, Prime Bishop Anthony Mikovsky preached the inspirational sermon. The following priests were in attendance: Fr. Sr. William Chromey from Dickson City, PA, Fr. Sr. Gregory Mludzik from Wallington, NJ, Fr. Joseph Cyman, Pastor of Holy Cross, Woodland Park, Fr. Donald Wunderlich, from Lawrenceville, PA, Fr. Carmen Bolock from Duryea, PA, Fr. Andrew Koterba from East Meadow, NY and Deacon William Gaydos from Holy Cross, Woodland Park. The organists were Jessica Muccilli and Neil Estanislao. About one hundred fifty people came to witness and pray at this special and unique celebration in the church and joined for the reception in the parish hall prepared by Gaydos family and Holy Cross parish members.
We thank all for their attendance and we wish God’s blessing to Fr. David, his wife, Laurie and Gaydos family.
