On Saturday, March 31, Bishop Matthias visited with diocesan seminarians and attended the Baptism of Natalie Ketz, daughter of third year seminarian Subdeacon Jason and Elizabeth Ketz of Saint Mary Cathedral, Minneapolis, MN. That evening, he presided at the celebration of the Resurrection Vigil in the seminary’s Three Hierarchs Chapel.
During the Sunday Divine Liturgy, Bishop Matthias ordained Deacon David Bozeman, a third year diocesan seminarian from Holy Trinity Church, Overland Park, KS, to the priesthood. He offered words of congratulation and encouragement to Father David, his wife Amy, and their children Judah and Asher. He also ordained Subdeacon Jason Ketz to the diaconate. In addition to his wife Elizabeth, the Ketzes’ three children — Patrick, Sophia, and Natalie — were in attendance.
