Ordination of seminarian Matthew Donahue rescheduled for July 21
Bishop Richard F. Stika will ordain seminarian Matthew Donahue to the transitional diaconate on Tuesday, July 21, at 6 p.m., at St. John Neumann Church in Farragut. The ordination was postponed by Bishop Stika following his announcement that he would self-quarantine after the possibility that he may have been exposed to COVID-19. His COVID-19 test was negative.
Mr. Donahue studied at the Pontifical North American College in Rome. Last fall, he spoke about life as a seminarian and studying in Rome on the podcast Inside the Diocese of Knoxville. You can listen to the episode here.
