Banner Year for Ordinations
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.

| Deacon Peter St. George | Navy | Arlington |
| Deacon Peter Ludwig | Navy | Lansing |
| Deacon Andrew Lane | Navy | Philadelphia |
| Deacon Liam O’Shea-Creal | Navy | Lincoln |
| Deacon Will Cook | Navy | Savannah |
| Deacon Darren Balkey | Navy | Charlotte |
| Deacon Brad Easterbrooks | Navy | San Diego |
| Father Tony Davis | Navy | Denver |
| Father Eddie Hoffmann | Army | Cincinnati |
| Father Mike Kapolka | Air Force | Cincinnati |
| Father Jason Allan | Navy | Fort Worth |

| Father Garrett Braun | Air Force | Evansville |
| Father Andrew Sanchez | Army | New Orleans |
| Father Callan Sweeney | Army | Austin |

When we gather in Tampa in April 2022, we will continue the long-standing MCCW tradition of supporting our promised priests. Giving to the Military Council of Catholic Women Endowed Co-Sponsored Seminarian Scholarship will connect our members from around the globe to our effort to support seminarians, unite our financial contributions for a greater impact, and inspire future MCCW members to continue supporting our promised priests.
