Pastoral Internship Year

As part of the Program for Priestly Formation in the Diocese of Youngstown, Seminarians are required to take a one-year Pastoral Internship half-way through Seminary Formation to participate in the life of a Parish. Beginning in June 2025, Bishop Bonnar has assigned the following:

Mr. Daniel LaPolla

to The Rev. John-Michael Lavelle, Pastor of St. Michael Parish (Canfield).

 

Mr. LaPolla will also assist in the diocesan offices of Archives, Missionary Discipleship, Development & Stewardship, and Communications.

Please remember all the seminarians we have currently studying in our diocese. They are all willing and available to come and speak at your parish or school.
