On this page you will find several photos of the diaconal ordination of Rev. Mr. Joe Marcoux which took place at the American College of the Catholic University of Louvain in Belgium on Saturday, December 9, 2000.

The first photo below was taken the following morning.
My vantage point during the ordination was BEHIND the celebrant's chair shown in the photo below.
Hence, I do not have many pictures of the ceremony itself.
