On this Laetere Sunday, our seminarians advanced toward the priesthood in different capacities: 11 men received their cassock and publicly declared their intention to become priests for their respective dioceses (Rite Admission to Candidacy). 13 men were instituted ministers of God’s Word (Lectors). 23 men were instituted ministers of the Altar (Acolytes). Please pray for them as they carry out these ecclesial responsibilities.
