Deacon Daniel Vallejo was ordained as a transitional deacon at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Albany on May 21 with Bishop Edward B. Scharfenberger presiding. Deacon Vallejo, who was profiled in a story in The Evangelist on May 19, will join Father Quy Vo at Holy Spirit Church in East Greenbush from June until December, learning about how to be a priest on a daily basis; such as being able to baptize and marry people while assisting the pastor in the Masses. Then it is one more semester at St. Mary of the Lake Seminary in Mundelein, Ill., before his ordination to the priesthood next June at the Cathedral.
