On Saturday, June 22 in the Cathedral of Saint Paul in Worcester, Bishop McManus ordained Deacon Thiago daSilva to the order of the priesthood. Fr. Thiago was expected to begin his ministry with us here at Saint Mary's Parish on August 1st. On August 14th, the Diocese of Worcester was informed that the USICS had approved the visa for Fr. Thiago. That paperwork needs to forwarded to the lawyers in Worcester who will then mail it to Fr. Thaigo in Brazil so that he can receive his visa there and make arrangements for his flight to the US.
