Bishop Libasci said, “It brings me great joy to know that, even in these difficult times, men continue to hear and answer the call to the priesthood in our diocese. I am grateful to those who have fostered the vocations of Fr. Amazeen and Fr. Livingston throughout their lives, and for their willingness to serve His people in New Hampshire.”
