Boston’s new archbishop ordained six new clergymen on Saturday, the primary such ordination since he took on the job final October.
“I give thanks to God for this joyful duty of ordaining these six men to the priesthood of Jesus Christ,” Archbishop Richard G. Henning stated forward of the ordination ceremony Saturday morning at Boston’s Cathedral of the Holy Cross.
“I pray that the Lord will draw them to His Sacred Heart and strengthen them in the generous gift of their lives in service to His people,” he continued.
The next six males have been ordained as clergymen: Father Vincenzo Caruso, 32, initially of Naples, Italy; Father Brian Robert Daley, 37, initially of Outdated Saybrook, Connecticut; Father Brian Thomas Delaney, age not offered, initially of Lowell; Father Joseph Thuy Van Nguyen, 37, initially of Nam Dinh, Vietnam; Father Mateus Oliveira Martin, 34, initially of São Paulo, Brazil; and Father Peter Dong Huy Pham, 29, initially of Hanoi, Vietnam.
“We, your newly ordained Priests of Jesus Christ of the Archdiocese of Boston, wish to extend our gratitude to you for your presence here today and for your prayers so vital to the blossoming of our priestly vocations,” the newly minted clergymen wrote in this system for the ceremony. In it they thanked the archbishop and their seminaries: Saint John’s, Pope Saint John XXIII, and Redemptoris Mater.
