We give thanks for a banner year of ordinations to the priesthood and diaconate. These new priests and deacons have taken their vows and committed to potential active-duty service as military chaplains. Our promised priests will serve as Army, Air Force, and Navy Chaplains. As we pray, let us remember each of these men by name.

ABOVE: Wrapping up a banner year of ordinations to the diaconate and priesthood: Rev. Mr. Brad Easterbrooks took his vows on September 30, 2021, in Rome. Present on his special day were Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio and Father Aidan Logan, AMS Vocations Director. Two MCCW members, Gloria Frey and Mariana Dionne, and their husbands, also joined the Easterbrook family to celebrate. What a blessed day in Rome.
