Priestly Ordination Ottawa: May 31, 2019

Priestly Ordination Ottawa: May 31, 2019

We give thanks to God on the occasion of the Ordination to the Sacred Priesthood of Fr. Luc Poirier by the Most Reverend Terrence Prendergast, Archbishop of Ottawa. In addition to a number of priests and seminarians from the Seminary traveling to Ottawa for the ceremony, three of Fr. Poirier’s classmates recently ordained in Nebraska attended. During the Ordination, these newly ordained priests, along with the Bishop and the other attending priests, conferred the form of the Sacrament upon their classmate through the laying on of hands. This ceremony is a powerful symbol of the unity of the Priesthood and particular joyous one for our new priests at the climax of their seminary career. 

Please pray for Fr. Poirier as he begins his priestly duties that he may serve God as a worthy and holy priest.

Priestly Ordinations: May 24, 2019

We give thanks to God for the four new priests ordained on May 24th by His Excellency Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz, Bishop Emeritus of Lincoln. As priestly ordination is the culmination and final goal of each seminarian’s time at Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary, these priestly ordinations are not only a most joyful time for the new priests but also a great inspiration for all of the seminarians. We are especially grateful to all those who traveled to Lincoln to celebrate this joyous occasion. 

As these new priests begin their work in apostolates across Canada, Mexico, and the United States, please keep them in your prayers that they may be holy and worthy priests. 

May Crowning: May 12, 2019

To celebrate Mother’s Day every year at Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary, the Seminarians and Priests accompany the crowning of Mary’s statue with the Litany of Loreto and Marian hymns during the procession to the statue. The daughter of one of the Seminary’s faculty crowned the statue Our Lady of Guadalupe just inside the main door of the Seminary. Mary our Mother, Pray for us!
