Power of Prayer: Washington Archdiocese Celebrates Largest Priestly Ordination Class Since 1960
‘We can’t live without the Eucharist, and there’s no Eucharist without priests, so I want to do my part to make sure there are priests in the future...’
‘We can’t live without the Eucharist, and there’s no Eucharist without priests, so I want to do my part to make sure there are priests in the future...’
The Mass of ordination will take place June 15 at 10 a.m. at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
Deacon Zane Langenbrunner, who will be ordained to the priesthood June 3, says he was drawn to his vocation by ‘a love for Jesus in the Eucharist.’
73% of Class of ’23 spent time before the Blessed Sacrament prior to seminary.
Clergymen’s calls differ, but they hold in common a desire to share the Gospel.
COMMENTARY: The muted observance in the Vatican contrasted with the focus given five years ago to Benedict’s 65th anniversary, when the Pope Emeritus spoke about the priestly identity of thanksgiving in his last public address.
The anniversary of Pope emeritus Benedict XVI's priestly ordination provides the opportunity to revisit some of his very wise words offered on vocations from 2000 while offering a homily in Munich.
Archbishop Ganswein said that when Benedict learned of this initiative “he was surprised and delighted.”
Older men continue to answer ‘Yes’ to the call.
A priest’s greatest joy is his ordination and he appreciates all those who share in his joy.
