On a sunny Sunday morning in Anaconda, Richard Kluk, a seminarian for the Diocese of Helena, was ordained for the transitional diaconate, a step on his path toward the priesthood.

The service April 30 took place at Holy Family Church of Anaconda Catholic Community. “Feeling happy, content, peaceful, eager, energetic, I think covers it all!” Deacon Kluk said after the ordination. He will be assigned to diaconal ministry at Anaconda Catholic Community.
