On Thursday, July 1, the Feast of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus, Rev. Canons Julien Aumont (France), Godefroy Ducret (France), Christian Juneau (Canada), David Le (USA), Francisco Palomar Andres (Spain), Nicholas Phillips (USA), Bryan Silvey (USA), and Maximilien Vuylsteke (France) were ordained to the Holy Priesthood by His Eminence, Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke at the Institute's church of Ss. Michael & Cajetan in Florence, Italy.

Our Blessed Lord certainly hears our humble and fervent prayers to grant us the priests we need in due season! Please pray for these young men, that they remain forever faithful to their ordination and that they may grow in holiness to serve the Church for many years for the salvation of countless souls. Te Deum laudamus!

Earlier in the week, His Eminence also conferred the clerical tonsure upon our first year seminarians after receiving the cassock from the Institute's Prior General, Monsignor Gilles Wach, in the seminary chapel of the Immaculate Conception in Gricigliano, Italy.
