Lake Charles native Patrick Carr was ordained a transitional deacon Wednesday night at the Notre Dame Seminary Chapel. Upon completion of his seminary studies, Deacon Carr is scheduled to be ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of New Orleans in May 2016. "God used you, Patrick, to get the attention of others and to call them to intimacy with him," said Archbishop Gregory Aymond during the homily, noting that one of the primary roles of a Catholic deacon is to lead the community in acts of charity by continually modeling "the heart of Christ, the Servant." "You have now received the gifts of the Spirit," the archbishop said. "Patrick, it's time to get to work!" Deacon Carr will spend his diaconate internship at St. Pius X in New Orleans.
