Last Saturday, November 19th, 22 candidates received minor orders from his Excellency Bishop Robert Finn. Twelve seminarians received the orders of Exorcist and Acolyte, and another ten received Porter and Lector. The minor orders are an indispensable part of our discernment and formation for the priesthood—incrementally increasing our duties as we slowly draw closer to the altar, and also providing the grace for us to whole-heartedly fulfill the ministry conferred upon us by Christ’s Church. Family and friends traveled in to witness the men take this step, happily supporting them and celebrating with them. The weekend was an exciting and joyous time. Please continue to pray for our seminarians!
