On Ember Saturday in the Octave of Pentecost, June 18, His Grace, the Most Reverend Jerome E. Listecki, Archbishop of Milwaukee, conferred the Sacrament of Confirmation in the Extraordinary Form on nearly fifty candidates at St. Stanislaus Oratory.
Following the Confirmations, Canon Michael Wiener of the Institute celebrated a Solemn High Mass in the presence of Archbishop Listecki. His Grace was assisted during the Confirmations and the Mass by Canon William Avis, provincial Master of Ceremonies for the Institute's US province, by Canon Glenn Gardner, and by Father Jean-Pierre Herman, an affiliate priest of the Institute.
