On Saturday, May 20, 2023, during Mass at the Cathedral of Saint Andrew, Bishop David Walkowiak ordained Nicholas Baker as a transitional deacon for the Diocese of Grand Rapids. The transitional diaconate, typically a year long, is the pastoral, liturgical and educational preparation period before ordination to the priesthood.
The Mass was attended by Deacon Nick's family, friends, members of the clergy and religious, parishioners of St. Sebastian Parish, Byron Center, Deacon Nick's home parish, and many others. The Mass was livestreamed on Facebook and on the diocesan website.
