On June 27, 2010, Br. Gustavo Lopez received the ministry of acolyte during Mass at the Viatorian Province Center in Arlington Heights during which Fr. Mark Francis presided. Formerly known as one of the minor orders (porter, lector, exorcist and acolyte) the ministry of lector, as well as the ministry of acolyte, replaced the former minor orders and the order of subdeacon. In 1973, Pope Paul VI abolished the minor orders and the order of subdeacon and replaced them with the two ministries of lector and acolyte which are required for of all persons seeking ordination to the priesthood.
Br. Lopez, who is studying for the priesthood in Bogotá, Colombia, spent three weeks practicing English and visiting the province in June and July. |
