LAKE CHARLES — Soon after Joshua Page received the Sacrament of Confirmation, he said that he committed to being “all in” as a Catholic. That commitment eventually led him to enter the seminary.

Page will advance one step closer to the priesthood on Saturday, June 4, when he is ordained a transitional deacon by Bishop Glen John Provost. The Mass will be held at 10:00 a.m. in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception.

In 2011 the Diocese of Lake Charles opened Vianney House, a residence for men discerning the priesthood.   Father Nathan Long was its first director, and the house was located in the old faculty residence of St. Louis Catholic High School on Bank Street.   Vianney House was a great success.
