The Setting Apart of Subdeacon Wiley Hawks

On March 3rd, the Sunday in the Octave of St David, Wiley Hawks was set aside as Subdeacon by Father Hawtin, with Fr Michael Kerouac present. The Setting-Apart of Subdeacons is the liturgy St Stephen’s uses to welcome laymen to certain specialized ministries (such as being permitted to take consecrated sacraments to the sick and shut-ins). Wiley has already demonstrated a gift for ministering to the sick, and everyone agrees that he is perfectly suited for this role.
