Upcoming Ordination

I went to my first ordination back home about 6 or 7 years ago and this was before I was thinking about going into the seminary. Since then, I have been to several ordinations to the diaconate, priesthood, and even a couple to the episcopate. These are always exciting times in the life of the Church. This coming Saturday Deacon Steve Hoffman will be ordained as a priest of Jesus Christ. This will be the first ordination to take place at St. Mary's Chapel in 27 years. There will be pictures posted after Saturday.

On another note, a large statue of St. Joseph will be arriving in our chapel in the coming days. The word is that St. Joseph has been spending some time going through customs at the St. Paul Airport. Last year, a statue of Our Lady of Confidence was placed in the chapel and now Mary will no longer be alone.
