Serra Int’l Call-In
Pilgrimage to the Diaconate As part of the celebra-
tion of Jon Fincher’s
diaconate ordination on
October 3, his family
and friends organized a
pilgrimage to Italy to
support him and visit
sacred sites. Those sites
included St. John Later-
an, St. Mary Major, St.
Peter’s, and St. Paul’s
Outside the Walls,
the Colosseum, the Forum,
the “minor” basilicas of St.
Cecelia and St. Clement
and the Scavi Tour of St.
Peter’s tomb. Another
highlight included Mass in
the Duomo in Orvieto,
Italy which houses the cor-
poral stained with the
blood of Christ from the
Eucharistic miracle.
Jon’s diaconate ordination
took place at the foot of the
“altar of the chair” at St. Pe-
ter’s Basilica. This beautiful
Bernini masterpiece harbors
the relics from the chair on
which tradition tells us that
St. Peter presided in Rome.
From this chair, St. Peter,
ordained by Christ himself,
laid his hands on men in ap-
ostolic succession. Jon and
thirty other young men or-
dained as deacons on Octo-
ber 3 are the latest links in
this unbroken and unbreaka-
ble chain.
