Seven Friars Ordained to the Priesthood

Priesthood Ordination

With thanks to Almighty God, we share the blessed news that seven of our Dominican brothers have been 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.

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 seven men begin their priestly ministries in service to the Church, another large class of thirteen 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.
