It’s always a privilege to welcome one of our seminarians each summer. This year Herley Mendez will join the Saint Aloysius Parish Community until mid-July. Herley has been in the U.S. for five years and was born and raised in Colombia. He is finishing his theological studies at St. Joseph’s Seminary in Yonkers, New York, and he will be ordained a transitional deacon on December 6, 2025 at St. Augustine Cathedral in Bridgeport.
Herley has already gotten involved in parish life and is spending time with staff to learn more about pastoral leadership. He has a truly joyful and generous spirit and is eager to meet you! He is pictured below at our staff end-of-the-pastoral-year dinner with our special “guest.” Please join me in welcoming Herley.
Please pray that more men and women will accept the Lord’s invitation to a life of ministry in the Church.
