This summer, 5 dioceses and 1 religious community ordained thirteen men to the priesthood.
Like countless before them, these men celebrated the sacrament of Holy Orders, responding to the Lord’s call to go and make disciples of all nations.
But unlike so many before them, these newly ordained were unable to celebrate in person due to the restrictions placed on public gatherings in response to Covid-19. This year, ordinations across the country were livestreamed and recorded in order to allow the families, friends, and loved ones of the newest presbyters to share in these monumental events.
The Sacred Heart community is thrilled to extend congratulations to all those ordained this year.
