"A Priest Forever" | Moments from the 2024 Priesthood Ordinations

Our Holy Father, St. Dominic, established an Order of Preachers to preach the Gospel for the salvation of souls over 800 years ago. With the recent ordination of five of our brothers to the priesthood of Jesus Christ, so many souls will encounter the mercy of Christ in the confessional, so many souls will receive the Eucharist at the Masses they celebrate, and so many souls will discover the riches of the Catholic intellectual tradition (especially the Thomist tradition) through their preaching!

Ordination liturgies are the most beautiful liturgies! Many blessings to the newly ordained.

Eternal and Almighty God, we lift our hearts in praise and thanksgiving for the gift of these new friar priests. You, who anointed Your Son Jesus Christ as the eternal High Priest, have called these men to share in His sacred ministry.
As Aaron was set apart for Your service, and as Melchizedek blessed Your servant Abraham, so have You consecrated these, Your servants, to continue the work of Your Kingdom. We pray that, through the intercession of St. Dominic and all Your saints, these friars may be filled with the grace and power of the Holy Spirit.
Lord Jesus, our High Priest, You offered Yourself as a perfect sacrifice on the cross, reconciling us to the Father. May these priests always remember that they are called to participate in Your sacrifice, offering themselves for the salvation of souls and the glory of God. Grant them the strength to follow Your example of love and humility, that they may serve Your people with a heart full of compassion and mercy.
Amen.

May the Almighty God give All in the Priesthood all they required to live their callings to the Glory of the Trinity.
Congratulations to the church.
