2025 Priestly Ordinations | Alumni News
“As we ponder the birth of our Priesthood…each of us recalls that most evocative moment when, on the day of our priestly Ordination, we prostrated ourselves on the sanctuary floor. This gesture of deep humility and obedient openness was splendidly designed to ready our soul for the sacramental imposition of hands, through which the Holy Spirit entered us to accomplish his work.” – St. John Paul II (Holy Thursday Letter, 1998)
