COLUMBUS, Ohio — Three seminarians from the Diocese of Charlotte at the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, Ohio, received ministries Nov. 13 as part of their ongoing formation for the priesthood.
Casey A. Coleman and Brian J. Kaup were installed as Readers, commissioned to proclaim the Word of God in the liturgical assembly and to catechize the faithful.
Paul D. McNulty was installed as Acolyte, entrusted with the duties of attending to the altar, assisting the deacon and priest at Mass, and distributing Holy Communion as an extraordinary minister.
