Ordination Day

Among the many young men being ordained to the priesthood here in Chicago tomorrow is our dear friend Pawell Komperda. The Catholic paper remarked that Pawell (we just call him Paul) is the only one of the ordinands who went through (get this) twelve years of seminary training. That's right, he started in the high school seminary and went straight through. The Archdiocese still has an preparatory program: Archbishop Quigley.
So pray for our new priests-to-be here in Chicago and wherever else. It would be a nice day to pray the Litany of Saints, in union with all those assemblies of bishops and faithful gathered around men who are ready to say their "Here I am, Lord, I come to do your will."
