Toledo area seminarian ordained to Priesthood at his home; new Priest is suffering from cancer and early ordination was deemed "prudent"

Please keep Fr. Scott Carroll in your prayers. His bishop ordained him to the priesthood at his home in Ohio today, 6 weeks before his scheduled ordination. He is suffering from cancer.
Dear Friend,

 As many of you know, our seminarian Deacon Scott Carroll has been battling cancer for some time. Although Scott looked forward to joining his classmates for ordination on June 22, 2013, it became clear this week that an earlier ordination might be prudent. 

 On Wednesday morning, Bishop Blair ordained Fr. Scott to the Order of Presbyter. The ordination took place at his parent’s home with immediate family present. It was a beautiful occasion and Scott is very much at peace.

 In addition to his ordination, Scott has been named Associate Pastor of Maumee St. Joseph and will exercise his faculties as a priest as his health permits. 

 Please keep Scott and his family in your prayers and join me in congratulating him!

 God Bless,

 Fr. Keith
