The Rite of Ordination will take place during Mass following Cardinal Rigali's homily. In late May, each of the newly ordained priests will be assigned a parish in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia where they will serve as parochial vicars. A parochial vicar is a priest appointed by the Cardinal to assist the pastor of a parish.
Those being ordained are: Rev. Mr. Kenneth C. Brabazon; Rev. Mr. David M. Friel; and Rev. Mr. Christopher P. Landis.
Editor's Note: Individual releases on each new priest are available at www.archphila.org. Photographs of the Ordination candidates are available by e-mailing dskalski@adphila.org or calling the Office for Institutional Advancement at Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary at 610-785-6231.
An audio and video mult-box feed will be provided in the parking lot of the Cathedral. Please enter on 17th Street, between Race and Vine Streets. Crews will need a bnc connector and a recording deck or a live truck. Television cameras will not be permitted in the Cathedral. Reporters and still photographers will be permitted in the Cathedral.
