For the past few years, I've had the honor of photographing the closing liturgy for the Diocese of St. Augustine's Ministry Formation Program. This three year program prepares lay ministry leaders for service in their parishes. The closing liturgy is held at the Cathedral Basilica in St. Augustine, Florida. It is a wonderful service that may appear to be the closing of a long journey, but it is just the beginning of an even more rewarding one for the graduating participants.
