The date has been set for my ordination to the diaconate. It will be on Saturday, February 27 at 10 am in the chapel at the Diocesan Pastoral Center (400 East Monroe in downtown Phoenix). All are welcome!
Once ordained, I will be assigned to St. Thomas the Apostle and also will continue teaching at Veritas Preparatory Academy. Ordination to the priesthood should follow in about six months.
Plans for the Anglican Use mass and Evening Prayer will come shortly. For now, we are on hold. The third Wednesday this month is Ash Wednesday, and so we would not be meeting anyway.
Thank you for your constant support and prayers! We are entering a new phase in the life of Saint Paul’s Anglican Use.

Oliver, Bernie & I saw Paul Campbell at the Evening Prayer service here in Washington on the day of the March for Life. (Fr. Bergman was the officiant and gave a talk afterwards re. Anglicanorum Coetibus.) Paul told us you had received your rescript (I believe that’s the correct term). Congratulations. We look forward to hearing when you will be ordained. Please give Ashley my love. Hope to see both of you in Newark in June. We will be there. - Heide Seward

Congratulations, Deacon Oliver! We are so happy to see you move closer to the goal of being ordained a priest in Holy Mother Church! It was a beautiful thing to see Bishop Olmstead lay his hands on you, and watch you join the ranks of the ordained. Thank you for your service to the Church, and thank you to your family for their support of you.
May God Bless you and richly reward you and your family.
