San Lorenzo is the "deacons' church", with the tombs of both St. Stephen (proto-martyr and deacon) and St. Lawrence the most venerated deacon in Rome. (St. Justin Martyr is buried here too, by the way). Here, in the crypt under the high altar, Fr. Adam offered prayers and a blessing for those NAC seminarians who are going to be ordained deacons in the coming year, they are kneeling around the tomb. Behind them are some of the current deaconate class. It was beautiful.
