Description
In the background left, the fishermen Peter and Andrew are called by Jesus. The two can also be seen in the background right, behind Jesus, who calls James and John, who are restoring the nets on their father Zebedee's boat.
In the foreground are Peter and Andrew, dressed in cloaks with their traditional colors (yellow-orange for Peter and green for Andrew). They are kneeling beside Christ, who blesses them. A unique element of the fresco is the inclusion of a multitude portrayed in contemporary clothes. Their faces were those of the Florentine community in Rome,[1] who resided near the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva.
At the left is a white bearded man, perhaps a literate from Constantinople who was also used as a model for St. Jerome in His Study in the church of Ognissanti in Florence. At the center, just behind Jesus, is the portrait of Diotisalvi Neroni, who had taken refuge in Rome after plotting against Piero di Cosimo de' Medici. Another exile from Constantinople is John Argyropoulos, who appears on the right. Other characters on the right are members of the Tornabuoni family. The white-haired, bareheaded man in the foreground on the right and the boy in the black doublet in front of him are identified as the banker Giovanni Tornabuoni and his son Lorenzo.
Praise God! I am glad informing you that May 16, 2009, a concerned Foundation paid my whole year tuition and board & lodging in seminary. Then yesterday (May 18, 2009), I was officially enrolled. June 12 after lunch will be the arrival of all new and old seminarians in Blessed John XXIII seminary. Please include me in your supplication that I may faithful throughout my journey until I reach the summit of my vocation.

I am using a mind mapping technique to gather my thoughts and make connnections about my own vocation to write my paper.
Khaju Bridge is arguably the finest bridge in the province of Isfahan, Iran. It was built by the Persian Safavid king, Shah Abbas II around 1650 C.E., on the foundations of an older bridge. From Wikipedia.

Federico II: "stupor mundi", the heretic by vocation in the place of his birth in Jesi, outside the city walls, the most of all Sicilians.
Sol mundi qui lucebat in gentibus, sol justitiae, auctor pacis
Frederick II Hohenstaufen, Holy Roman Emperor (1194-1250)
A man of extraordinary culture, energy, and ability, the first European, the first to conceive European Union. Called by a contemporary chronicler stupor mundi the "wonder" or, more precisely, the "astonishment" "of the world"; The majority of his contemporaries were indeed astonished – and sometimes repelled – by the pronounced unorthodoxy of the Hohenstaufen emperor, his temperamental stubbornness. His character was called a flamboyant, ignoring all social conventions of the time, such as vassalage relations, the concept of honor, etc. In a Europe at war with Islam, he speaks Arabic, and its guard was composed of Arabs. He was frequently at war with the Papacy, he was excommunicated four times. He was called the Antichrist, Frederick was a religious skeptic. He delighted in uttering blasphemies and making mocking remarks directed toward Christian sacraments and beliefs. Frederick's religious skepticism was unusual for the era in which he lived, and to his contemporaries, highly shocking and scandalous.
“Frederick II inherited German, Norman, and Sicilian blood, but by training, lifestyle, and temperament he was "most of all Sicilian".”
Federico II de Hohenstaufen, Imperatore del Sacro Romano Impero (1194-1250)
Uomo di straordinaria cultura e energia, primo Europeo, primo ideatore dell'Europa Unita. Chiamato dai sui contemporanei "Stupor mundis", per il suo carattere stravagante e unico, per tentare di sovvertire l'ordine costituito, suscito attorno alla sua persona un alone di mistero e innumerevoli leggende. Disprezzo tutte le convenzioni sociali dell'epoca quali le relazioni di vassallaggio, il concetto di "onore", etc. In una Europa in guerra con l'islam lui parlava arabo, e il suo corpo di guardia era composto da arabi. Spesso in guerra contro il papa, scomunicato più volte, definito l'anticipatore del anticristo, il suo atteggiamento irrispettoso verso le 3 principali religioni erano insolitamente scandalose per l'epoca e viste con stupore e timore.
“Federico II aveva sangue tedesco,normando e siciliano, ma per stile di vita, carattere e temperamento lo si può definire il più grande dei siciliani.”
Federico II de Hohenstaufen, emperador del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico (1194-1250)
Hombre de extraordinaria cultura y energía, primer europeo, primero a concebir la Union Europea Llamado por sus contemporáneos "stupor mundi", debido a su carácter extravagante y único, buscó subvertir el orden establecido, despertando a su alrededor un aura de misterio y innumerables leyendas. Desprecio todas las convenciones sociales de la época, como las relaciones de vasallaje, el concepto de "honor", etc. En una Europa en guerra con el Islam, hablaba árabe, y su cuerpo de guardia estaba compuesta por árabes. A menudo en guerra con el Papa fue excomulgado varias veces, fue llamado el precursor del Anticristo. Su desprecio por las 3 principales religiones eran extraordinariamente escandalosas para la época y fueron vistas con asombro y temor.
Federico II tenía sangre alemana, Normanda y Siciliana, pero por estilo de vida, carácter y temperamento puede definirse “el más grande de los sicilianos”
On Vocation Sunday, 15th September 2019, three Ordained Local Ministers were admitted to the office of Deacon by the Rt Revd Patrick Rooke, Bishop of Tuam, Killala and Achonry, in St Mary’s Cathedral, Tuam.
The Revd Carole Reynolds was ordained to serve in the parish of Roundstone, the Revd Maebh O’Herlihy for the parish of Achill, and the Revd Karen Duignan for the parish of Easky.
The service of Ordination with Holy Communion was presided over by the Bishop assisted by the Dean and Chapter of TKA. The three deacon candidates (as they were at that point of the service) each read from the scriptures. The preacher was the Revd Canon Dr Maurice Elliott, Principal of CITI. The choir of St. Nicholas’, Galway, led the music with Mark Duley acting as choirmaster and playing the organ.
Carole Reynolds
Carole was born in Dublin, the youngest of three children. On leaving school she trained as a dental nurse. She married Michael in 1981 and they have three children, Sam, 36, Emma, 33, and Phillip, 31. At present Sam and Emma are living in New Zealand and Phillip lives in Kent, England.
At present, Carole is employed by National Parks and Wildlife Service in Connemara National Park, Letterfrack, as Education Officer. Her job involves travelling to primary schools in Galway and Mayo informing them about all aspects of our natural biodiversity (Irish mammals, birds, butterflies etc.)
During the summer months when the schools are closed, she runs children’s activities in the park and also takes guided bogland walks. In 2014, Carole became a member of the Select Vestry in St Mary’s, Roundstone, and she was commissioned as a Diocesan Reader in May 2017.
Karen Duignan
I’m married to Liam for 23 years and have two daughters – one just finished in college and the other just starting. I farm a small herd of Angus cattle and am also a part–time secretary.
I accidentally became a Parish Reader about 10 years ago when one Sunday morning nobody turned up to take the service and it seemed like a good idea at the time. But once I came under the eye of the then Bishop, Richard Henderson, there was no escape for me! I trained as a Diocesan Reader, being one of the first under the new training course run by the Church of Ireland Theological College and an English university.
I’ve enjoyed travelling for the past number of years, meeting people in all the different parishes and helping wherever I’ve been needed. It has been ‘fun’ and I sincerely hope it will continue to be. I’ve reached ordination in a very roundabout way but I believe God has a sense of humour and my ordination is the culmination of a lot of pushing and prodding by Him. I’ve listened and am happy to put the rest of my life doing what He has asked me to do.
Maebh O’Herlihy
I was born and educated in Dublin, moved to Brussels, Belgium, in 1973 and lived there for twenty-one years. My daughter, son and grandson still live in Brussels. I studied Theology and Catechetics in Louvain University and was RE teacher in the European Schools. I was also one of the early parishioners in a newly planted English-speaking community which, in turn, was part of a group of nine ecumenical Christian Churches working together.
I then completed further studies in Psychology and Counselling in Belgium and the UK and was a counsellor in the European Schools. While in Brussels, I was involved in the direction of retreats, training of Sunday School teachers, and the healing ministry of the Church, and also as President of the English-speaking World Day of Prayer Committee, and European President of a world–wide alumnae association working in the area of human rights in many countries.
I returned to Ireland and have lived on Achill Island for the past nineteen years. Since moving here, I have joined the TKA Diocese of the Church of Ireland, and have completed further studies in Theology, in Galway, St John’s College, Nottingham, the Church of Ireland Theological Institute and Edgehill College/Queen's University. Licensed as Diocesan Reader and now ordained deacon, I am also co–ordinator of the Sacred Path Centre of Spirituality.
The Cathedral of Mary of the Assumption in Saginaw was packed with faithful from across the diocese who came to witness the ordination of Father Adam Maher on June 1.
The Rite of Ordination includes the candidate promising to "discharge the office of priesthood with humility and love, to hold fast to the mystery of faith, to proclaim this faith in word and deed, to embrace the celibate state and to pray for the Church and the whole world," as well as obedience to the bishop and his successors. The candidate then lies prostrate as the congregation prays the Litany of Supplication. Following the prayer, Bishop Cistone and those priests present silently impose their hands upon the candidate. The candidate is then dressed in priestly vestments, a stole and chasuble. He then kneels before the bishop, who anoints his hands with Sacred Chrism and hands over the bread and wine.
A Port Sanilac native, Father Adam completed his seminarian education at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit. This July, he will become the Parochial Administrator of Our Lady Consolata Parish, which serves Cass City, Sebewaing, Gagetown and Wilmot.
Regarding his call to the priesthood, Father Adam credits the prayers of so many people to whom he says, "My vocation is the fruit of your prayers. I'm excited to lay my life down for Jesus and for all of you. Your prayers have been preparing me for this. I feel your prayers."
On Friday May 30, 2014, the Most Rev. Joseph R. Cistone, Bishop of Saginaw, ordained the Rev. Mr. Andrew LaFramboise to the priesthood. The ordination took place during Mass at the Cathedral of Mary of the Assumption, 615 Hoyt. Ave., in Saginaw.
LaFramboise is the ninth priest ordained by Bishop Cistone since he was installed as the bishop of Saginaw in July 2009.
“Andy's parents are very devout and you can see how that has been instilled in their children and their children's families," Bishop Cistone said. "There's a real joy and commitment that's evident in their family. I think that’s really important for priestly vocations because young men don’t live out their vocations in a vacuum…it’s a seed and a gift and it needs to grow.
“Promoting and fostering priestly vocations remains a major priority for me and for our diocese as a whole. I am convinced that God is calling many of our young men to consider the priesthood.”
The Rev. Mr. Andrew LaFramboise is a native of Auburn, Mich. He received his priestly formation at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit. Before entering seminary in 2006, LaFramboise studied mathematics and statistics at Kettering University in Flint, Mich.
“I look forward to being an instrument of Jesus’ encounter with his people and I hope to learn as much as I can during my first year as a priest,” said LaFramboise. “I was deeply moved when I saw St. John Paul II during World Youth Day in Toronto in 2002. When he died, I was inspired by his example and reflected on how much good had come from one person saying ‘yes’ to God. This call to holiness led me to be open to what God wanted for my life.”
Those interested in learning more about priestly vocations may contact Rev. Andrew Booms, director of priesthood vocations for the Diocese of Saginaw at 989-752-8119.
