Acolyte Installation

Tonight, Bishop Carlson of the Diocese of Saginaw, Michigan, instituted fifteen new acolytes at the Saint Paul Seminary. Bishop Carlson is originally from this Archdiocese, so it was a homecoming of sorts for him. After giving a powerful homily, he instituted three of his own seminarians during the ceremony with the other twelve seminarians. It was great to see all of these men take one step closer to the priesthood and be formally instituted to serve at the altar. If nothing else, the class above them will appreciate the relief from their serving duties.

I am sure someone will be posting pictures soon.
