Deacon Benjamin Ross, 24, is in his final year of study in theology at the Pontifical North American College, Rome, Italy. The eldest of seven children, Benjamin grew up in Highland. He is a member of St. Stephen, Martyr Parish (Merrillville). After graduating from St. Mary’s University in Winona, Minnesota, Deacon Ben traveled to Rome to continue his priestly formation. He has enjoyed many experiences throughout the countries of Europe. This past summer, Deacon Ben served at St. Thomas More Parish (Munster) and at St. Margaret Mercy Hospital (Hammond). Those with whom he ministered appreciated his knowledge of God and his ease in making Him known to others. During this last year of seminary formation, Deacon Ben will be studying Canon (Church) Law. As he continues to be formed for priesthood, Deacon Ben hopes to be ordained to the priesthood in June of 2012.
