Priestly Ordination

Next Monday, December 12, at 11:00 a.m., His Excellency, Bishop Robert Vasa, will ordain Deacon Gabriel Sanchez-Navarro to the Holy Priesthood here at the Cathedral of St. Eugene. The ordination will be followed by a reception in the Msgr. Becker Center. Because December 12 is also the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Fr. Sanchez-Navarro will be offering a Spanish Mass (his first Mass) at 4:30 p.m. on the same day. There will be a reception in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe immediately following Mass in the Msgr. Becker Center.
“The priest is not a priest for himself; he does not give himself absolution; he does not administer the Sacraments to himself. He is not for himself, he is for you.” — St. John Vianney, The Curé of Ars
