Sara Tennant of SJV, who had won first place in our local spelling bee event earlier this year, qualified for the State championship by coming in 4th place at the regional championship that was held at St. Ann's church in Raritan, NJ on March 15, As an alternate she earned the right to go to the State Championship. When one person did not show up at this event, she took his place; so, she became a finalist. By her efforts she has paved the way for one of next year's SJV eighth grade students to go even further, place in one of the top three spots. We applaud Sara for her effort, pray for her continuous success in her future endeavors. St. John Vianney School News Happy Mother s Day to all of our mothers!

Tue, May 20 from 7:15-9:00 p.m. ($20) Facilitator: Jerry McKenna Greetings from the Office of the Diaconate Over the next several months, the Office of the Diaconate will be publishing articles about the ministry of deacon. The articles will be presented in a question answer format. Our goal is for you to become more familiar with the ministry of deacons, their role in our Church the requirements for ordination. Question: I underst that priests receive a salary for their ministry. Do deacons get paid, or are they volunteers? In general, deacons are not compensated for their ministry as deacons. Sometimes a deacon holds a job in the Church as a member of the bishop s staff or a parish employee, such as the principal of a parish school. In these cases, the deacon is usually paid whatever a lay person would be paid for serving in the same position. Notice that such compensation is associated with the position accepted by the deacon in addition to his ecclesiastical assignment as deacon, for which no compensation is generally provided. The bishop of a diocese may provide a modest allowance to help defray the costs of continuing formation an annual retreat.
