Ordination 2010, Toulon ~ running out of room? O:)

21 new deacons, 13 new priests, photo by Ludovic Margot (whom I hope to see among the ordinandi next year or the year after!). Largest number since 1939.......and next year.....? How will they all fit?!? O:)

[........I hesitate to post the not-as-happy news from the great and historic Diocese of Orleans: can this be true? One deacon ordained this year? And only one priest last year and the year before? http://catholique-orleans.cef.fr/index.php?Ordinations]

A great and happy day in Toulon

Dimanche!

Webcast Sunday live at WebTV Cancao Nova ~~~ more info here. Plus! I hope to visit the chickens again. O:)

Quite the ordination last week

14 new priests, 11 new deacons. The diocese of Frejus-Toulon.

New Deacons, October 4, 2007

Twenty-one new deacons of the North American College, ordained at St. Peter's. The reversible dalmatics were a gift of Pius XII. Congratulations go especially to Deacon Kevin of Washington, D.C., and Deacon Robert of Peoria, IL.

Picture from another happy day...at last!

From May 19th, 2007:

At least it's something, even if not current! On the right, Fr. Cyrus Bartolome (obviously still a deacon at the time of the photo). More info:

Ordination in Baltimore

Sorry these are so dark -- it's a very dark cathedral. It was a happy and noisy occasion, with some oddities like the high altar being used as flower stand. But ordinations are always wonderful!

More Ordinations

Second from right, Don Pablo Perez-Rubio Villalobos, who keeps Santa Croce running (http://www.pusc.it/eng/), was one of 38 new priests ordained for the Opus Dei prelature at Sant' Eugenio in Rome on May 26th.

A first blessing

Father Joseph Rogers -- a blessing for me, and for Msgr. Charles Pope! -- at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception yesterday.

A day to remember

Yesterday at San Nicola in Carcere, a day of great joy (Note the cleared center nave -- see Fr. Lang's "Turning Toward the Lord" -- and the baldacchino curtained). MORE PHOTOS HERE:
