By Sean Morrisroe, Catholic Stand - This was the first time I attended an ordination. I did not know what to expect... After the ceremony was over, all two and half hours, the consensus between my wife, daughter, and son was the same. We loved it. We were all filled with joy and were glad we participated in the ceremony and gave moral support to the new priests. My son said, enthusiastically, “That was the best Mass I ever went to!” The incense, the choir singing in Latin, the organ, the ancient rituals, and watching a new generation of men taking the mantle to carry the message of Christ lifted us and gave us hope.
