One thought on “Diocesan Assignments: Oct. 21, 2017

  1. I just wanted to say that Reverend Dominic Dellaporte has been a breath of fresh air at my parish Most Precious Blood. His strong presence on the altar is absolutely like no other and his sermons are memorable, inspiring, genuine and heartfelt. We are truly blessed to have him as a priest at both Most Precious Blood and Saint Simon Jude and I pray that he will become a permanent member of our parish in the near future.

    Best regards
