Posted

MONTICELLO, NY — The Reverend Diana Southwick Scheide has been ordained into the Sacred Order of Priests in the Episcopal Church. She will serve a new collaboration of churches called the Delaware Catskill Episcopal Ministry.

Her ordination took place on January 17 in St. John’s Episcopal Church, Monticello. The celebrant was the Right Reverend Allen K. Shin, suffragan bishop of New York. Presenters included representatives from Grace Church, Port Jervis; St. Andrew’s Church, South Fallsburg; St. James Church, Callicoon; and St. John’s Church. The priests will celebrate mass on a rotating basis.

Mother Diana comes to the priesthood after raising three sons. Her former profession was nursing. She was encouraged to study for the priesthood by her son, who urged her to “follow her dream.”
