đź”´ LIVE | Ordination to the Sacred Orders of Presbyter and Deacon
Welcome to the live coverage of the Ordination to the Sacred Orders of Presbyter and Deacon in the Diocese of Kabankalan.
Today, the Church rejoices as these men, through the laying on of hands and the Prayer of Ordination, are configured more closely to Christ in the Sacrament of Holy Orders. Called by God and formed by the Church, they now offer their lives in faithful service to the People of God.
Let us unite in prayer for our ordinandi as they begin this sacred ministry with humility, zeal, and unwavering love for Christ and His Church.
