July was a particularly blessed month for St. Michael's Abbey. Our community witnessed the priestly ordinations of Fathers Lazarus McDonald, O.Praem. and Alcuin Friesen, O.Praem., as well as the diaconate ordinations of fraters Moses Pavel Luke Blain, O.Praem. and Gerard Paul Juhasz, O.Praem.
Though year after year we observe these momentous occasions, we are constantly humbled by the way Christ is working in these men's lives, and sustaining the great tradition of Catholic monasteries into the modern world. We are indebted to, and grateful for, your prayers and interest in St. Michael's Abbey.
In this new video, The Face of Christ in Me, the two newly ordained priests reflect on their journey to the priesthood and what this special day was like for them.
As these young men begin their priestly life, they are accompanied by a special group of individuals who courageously support their life of service to Christ and His people. We invite you to join this group by becoming a member of the Abbot's Circle by making a monthly gift below. Or, if you'd just like to make a one-time donation, we are grateful for that as well.
