After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch." Simon said in reply, "Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets." When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their nets were tearing. - Luke 5:4-6

Congrats Paul




Yesterday my brothers in Holy Cross and I, along with many of our family members and friends had the pleasure of witnessing the Profession of Perpetual Vows of Paul Ybarra, C.S.C.  The Profession of Final Vows is always a highlight of the year and a great witness for those of us in formation.  To see someone, similar to us in many respects, and for those of us who have been in formation a while, someone who is a good friend and brother in community, give the entirety of his life to Holy Cross, in service of the Lord is always an amazing shot in the arm and a great reminder of why we chose to be in Holy Cross and the true purpose of our formation.

Today we get to see Paul make yet again another public commitment in service to the Lord and His Church as he is ordained a deacon.  As a deacon Paul will serve both in Sacrament and in Word to the people of God. 

Congrats Paul and thanks for the great witness of your life in Holy Cross
