The list looks kind of short, overall, and probably doesn’t represent every ordination from every diocese.
 
Thank you for sharing this website! It is good to put faces to those we pray for. May God bless all our priests and may they grow in holiness daily.
 
That can’t be a complete listing. My friend who was ordained yesterday is not there.
Two of the three men being ordained in our archdiocese weren’t on the list either.
 
In any event, May God bless them and may our Dear Blessed Mother always keep them close to her Son, Christ Jesus. I will keep them and those still discerning, and those not yet ordained in my daily prayers. (we pray for Vocations daily so this is wonderful to see.)
 
The New York Archdiocese is not represented in that list.

We had 9 on Saturday. 6 Diocesan, and 3 religious priests who will serve in the Archdiocese.

God Bless
 
What I find amazing is the age range of the ordinands–everywhere from 25 (about the traditional age) to 76. It’s hard to image a first-year 18-year-old student sitting in class next to a 69-year-old!

I was at that ordination. My friend was the last one ordained.

An 18 year old would not be in the major seminary but in college.

Actually, some major seminaries are still set up traditionally, whereby the philosophy students are at the same institution with the theologians; meaning that an 18 year old could well be there.

I wasn’t there this year, which one is he?

I went to a First Mass at St. Theresa’s on Staten Island on Sunday. It was lovely.

God bless
 
That’s not all of them, by any means.
Yep. It may take a while to catch up. Plus, the text makes it sound like all the ordained are diocesan.

As it stands, this list is missing the two Dominicans from the Province of St. Albert the Great who were ordained in St. Louis on Pentecost.

These ordinands are Father Simon Felix Micahlski, O.P. and Father Kevin Stephens, O.P. The Most Reverend Thomas Cajetan Kelly, O.P. Archbishop Emeritus of Louisville, Kentucky, was the celebrant.

Check out the full photo album of the ordination on Brother Joseph O.P.'s Picasa page.

(Yes, St. Francis Xavier College Church is a Jesuit Church. Oh, the irony…)

SanClemente

PS: Did anyone else notice that the USCCB has one guy listed twice? Maybe he’s already bilocating!
