Hittin' the road

Yesterday I witnessed the beautiful ordination of four men to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of St Louis: Fr David Skillman, Fr John Mayo, Fr Eric Olson, and Fr Mark Chrismer. Click here for photographs of the ordination, taken by Jeff Geerling. Today I attended the first Masses of Fr Skillman and Fr Chrismer in their respective home parishes. It's always inspiring to see these men I've lived and studied with begin their ministry as priests.
Right now I am packing my stuff for the long drive back to North Dakota for the summer! It's exciting. I haven't been home much the last two years because last summer was spent in Omaha at the Institute for Priestly Formation. This summer I will be living and working at St Leo's Parish in Minot.

The ordination of 4 must have been a powerfully moving experience; we'll have 1 (one) ordained in mid-June and I'm looking forward to all the graces of that day.
Vaya con Dios!
