By: Denise Hummel
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.
