Official Announcement

With profound gratitude to Almighty God, St. Michael’s Abbey rejoices in the ordination of one new priest and three new deacons for our community.

Through the laying on of hands and the prayer of ordination by The Most Reverend Timothy Freyer, Auxiliary Bishop of Orange, California, Titular Bishop of Strathearn, Rev. Frater Theophane Dylan Faleiro, O.Praem., was ordained to the sacred priesthood, and Frater Titus John Blackman, O.Praem., Frater Dismas Youssef Farfan, O.Praem., and Frater Athanasius Basil Inman, O.Praem., were ordained to the diaconate.

These ordinations are a visible sign of the Lord’s continued blessing upon the Church and upon the Norbertine life at St. Michael’s Abbey. Please join us in giving thanks for these newly ordained confreres, and in praying that their ministry may be fruitful, faithful, and wholly conformed to the Heart of Christ.

‍Ad multos annos!
