Bishop Štumpf ordains Jure Ferletič as deacon

Bishop Peter Štumpf ordained Jure Ferletič as a deacon on October 25, 2026. Ferletič, a seminarian from the Miren parish, will serve at the cathedral parish and act as the bishop's master of ceremonies until his priestly ordination.

During the ordination, Bishop Štumpf stated that diaconal ministry combines service at the altar, the proclamation of the Word of God, and care for those in material or spiritual distress. The bishop encouraged the new deacon to be attentive to the poor and to avoid prejudice and judgment.
