Gabby and Dino Paoletta

Congratulations to our own Dean “Dino” Paoletta — who this week officially learned he will be ordained a deacon on May 2 by Bishop Lennon! We are so proud of you!

Ordination is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday, May 2, at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in downtown Cleveland. All are welcome to attend.

A Mass of Thanksgiving will be celebrated here at St. Francis Xavier Parish the following day. We do not yet know where he will be assigned. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.

“I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all, in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now. For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 1: 3-6)
