Dcn. Christopher Gossen and Br. Peter Teresa McConnell, FHS, will be surrounded by hundreds of family, friends and supporters as they receive Holy Orders. They are among hundreds of others who will become Catholic priests this year throughout the United States.

Ordination is the sacramental ceremony in which Holy Orders will be conferred and our Transitional Deacons will become priests, enabling them to minister in Christ’s name through the Church. The Rite of Ordination ceremony includes various rituals, rich in meaning and history.
Please continue to pray for vocations.
