The above photo is from the event I attended this morning: the ordination of five new transitional deacons at the Immaculate Conception Seminary in Huntington, Long Island.  The gentleman in the picture, Alonzo Cox, is scheduled to be ordained a priest next June. 
(Oh: the hands belong to Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio of Brooklyn.)

Congratulations!
