At 9 am this Sunday, Pope Francis will preside over the priestly ordination of nine deacons from three seminaries in Rome: The diocesan seminary, the seminary of the Neocatechumenal Way community, and the seminary of Divino Amore, or Divine Love, of a Marian congregation of priests.<\/p>\n
The last time the Pope presided over a priestly ordination was in 2019. <\/p>\n
As Bishop of Rome, Pope Francis seeks to preside over ordination ceremonies whenever possible, so as not to delegate the task to others. <\/p>\n
During priestly ordinations, the Pope typically shares words of caution and advice on the meaning of the priesthood.<\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS Among the new priests are a soccer player who nearly joined Rome's professional team, as well as a former film director.<\/p>\n For the ceremony the Pope will once again preside at the central altar of St. Peter's Basilica rather than in a side chapel, as he has done since the pandemic began. As a result, a greater number of people will be permitted to attend the event. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n JRB<\/p>\n TR: JM <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" April 24, 2021.
