Ordained a priest for the Western Orthodox Church in America, on 02/10/1991 at Desert Hot Springs, California

1. by Michael Edward Coburn, a bishop of the Western Orthodox Church in America.

Consecrated a bishop for the Western Orthodox Church in America, on 10/06/1996 at Santa Rosa, California,

1. by Paul Anthony Diederich, S.G.S., a bishop of the Western Orthodox Church in America,
2. assisted by Christopher W. Fitzpatrick, O.S.J., a bishop of the Western Orthodox Church in America,
3. and by Daniel James Dahl, then a bishop of the New Catholic Communion. [There is a disagreement over who actually was the second co-consecrator. Mark Steven Shirey Shirilau, the archbishop and Primate of the Ecumenical Catholic Church states that he was that co-consecrator and that Bp. Dahl, there as a guest, was asked also to participate in the consecration ceremony. Both Bp. Dahl and Bp. Careone deny this claim and offer in evidence a copy of the Instrument of Consecration, signed that day and naming as the consecrators only Bp. Diederich, Bp. Fitzpatrick, and Bp. Dahl]

Bp. Careone in the Presiding Bishop of the Diocese of California for the Western Orthodox Church in America and the Abbot, locum tenens, of the Brotherhood of Blessed Michael.
