You never know who God will call to become a priest. Deacon John P. Sullivan will answer God’s call when he’s ordained on Saturday, June 13, at St. Paul Cathedral.

Plans to repaint the sanctuary began about a year ago. Mr. Folley, 40, of Gardner, and his associates, Kevin Soraci of Barrington, New Hampshire, and Shawn Vales of Montclair, New Jersey, began working on the project in mid-April by applying solvents to remove varnish that had turned brown and to reveal the original colors. Then they brought the murals back to life, including repainting wings on angels that had disappeared over the years.

Bishop McManus has announced changes in assignments for several priests, all effective July 1.

While Christopher Aubrey worked for more than 20 years as an auto mechanic, some of his coworkers and customers called him “Father Chris” because they knew he was interested in becoming a priest. It’s finally about to happen. He’s scheduled to be ordained a priest on June 13 at St. Paul Cathedral.
