Isaiah Minke's Transitional Diaconate Ordination

With great joy, I wish to inform you that Isaiah Minke has petitioned for ordination to the Order of Deacon in the Diocese of Austin through the imposition of hands and the invocation of the Holy Spirit by Archbishop Joe S. Vásquez on May 17, 2025, at St. Vincent de Paul in Austin, Texas. On behalf of the Church, I want to thank you, the people of his pastoral year parish, for your generous support of Isaiah. It is through your prayers, encouragement, and support that there are many vocations to the priesthood in our Diocese. Please keep Isaiah and all our seminarians in your daily prayers. If you have any grave concerns affecting his ordination to the Transitional Diaconate, please contact me at the Office of Vocations of the Diocese of Austin at (512)949-2405.

Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Gregory Gerhart
Vocation Director, Diocese of Austin
