The Ordination to the Priesthood
On June 27, 2020, the Norbertine community of St. Michael’s Abbey celebrated the ordination to the priesthood of Father Basil Scott Harnish, O.Praem., Father Edmund Nathaniel Page, O.Praem., Father Anselm Christopher Rodriguez, O.Praem., and Father Peregrine Patrick Fletcher, O.Praem.
In their reception of the sacrament of Holy Orders, the abbey’s new priests become ministers of the grace and mercy that pours out from Our Lord’s Sacred Heart.
Due to an abundance of caution during the current threat of pandemic, only immediate family of the ordinands were invited to celebrate their ordination with us. This was a sadness for us because ordinations are such a cause of rejoicing for the whole Church.
We invite you to watch the Ordination Mass and pray for the newly-ordained priests, who will bring you and all your intentions with them to the altar as they offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
