Archbishop Aymond appointed Andrew Gutierrez to serve at St. Catherine of Siena Parish for his diaconate internship.  Andrew is 24 years old and was born and raised in Metairie.  He attended elementary school at his home parish of St. Clement of Rome.  During his time at Archbishop Rummel High School, Andrew experienced a conversion and grew stronger in his faith.  Andrew first started hearing the call to the priesthood as a student at ARHS.  After graduating in 2011, Andrew studied Psychology at LSU.  After two years of LSU football games, developing great friendships, and being heavily involved at Christ the King Catholic Center, Andrew responded to God’s call and entered seminary. Five years later, he will be ordained a transitional deacon on May 19, 2018 in St. Louis Cathedral at 10 am.  Deacon Andrew is excited to begin his assignment at St. Catherine of Siena which will last from the end of May until the middle of October.  Please pray for Andrew as he completes his studies and prepares for his diaconate ordination!
