Newly Ordained to the Priesthood

Priesthood Ordination

Celebrating the Ordination of Our Newest Dominican Priests

With thanks to Almighty God, we share the blessed news of Dominican brothers being ordained to the priesthood of Jesus Christ. After seven years of profound spiritual, intellectual, and pastoral formation, these men now step forward to dedicate their lives to Christ and His Holy Church.

Partner in Forming the Next Generation of Preachers

This moment has been made possible because of your faithful generosity and fervent prayers. Through your support, you have shared in the mission of raising up preachers of the Gospel who will proclaim the truth for the salvation of souls.

Yet, as these men begin their priestly ministries in service to the Church, another class of novices has just begun their journey. And the cost of their formation is significant.

We humbly ask for your assistance. Will you prayerfully consider making a special offering to support these young men as they prepare to become faithful heralds of the Gospel?

Please know that you and your loved ones are remembered in our daily prayers. May our Lady, Queen of Preachers, intercede for you and bring you ever closer to her Son.

Supporting the Gospel Through Our Newly Ordained Priests

These newly ordained priests begin their ministry rooted in the Dominican charism of preaching and teaching the truth of Christ.

Through your prayers and generosity, they are equipped to bring the Gospel to every corner of the world—proclaiming it in word and sacrament, guiding souls in formation, and witnessing to the joy of a life lived for God.

Your support ensures that their mission continues, sustaining the preaching of Christ’s love where it is most needed and helping the Order of Preachers form the next generation of friars for years to come.
