Following two years of formation, guided by delegate Sr. Alphonsine Roy, Deacon Diego was inducted into the Association of Salesian Cooperators. He made his promise on Sunday, December 8, at 11:00 a.m. Mass at St. Benedict Church in Etobicoke. Salesian director Fr. Mario Villaraza presided. The rite was witnessed by Deacon Diego’s sponsor, family, friends, and the parish community.
