Ordination & First Mass

Pablo's ordination as deacon was last Thursday - October 9th at the Altar of the Chair in St. Peter's Basilica in ROME!

Here are some pictures of the events that took place that day!

Families of the guys that were getting ordained were invited for lunch to the seminary. The roof of the seminary has an unbelievable view of the city and of course of St. Peter's:



Lunch at the seminary was great. It was a full Italian meal and at the end there was a toast to all the deacons-to-be:

We had dinner at a Peruvian restaurant -


The cake traveled all the way from Lima. It was made by our aunt Gina who makes beautiful and delicious cakes.



Pablo's first Mass as deacon was at Tre Fontane - the place where St. Paul was martyred.
