Bishop Emeritus Adanuty urged the deacons to demonstrate before God and humanity that they are above every suspicion of blame and be true ministers of Christ and men firmly rooted in faith and in love.

He further urged the deacons to assist the Bishop and his body of Priests as ministers of the Word and the Sacraments before their final ordination into the Ministerial Priesthood.

The newly ordained Deacons expressed their heartfelt appreciation to the bishop, their parish priests, formators, their brother seminarians, their parents and the entire faithful for their prayers and support throughout their formative years.
