A joyful day for the Church in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati!
On May 16, nine men were ordained to the priesthood at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Peter in Chains. The ordination of new priests is a tremendous blessing for the Archdiocese and a beautiful reminder that God continues to call faithful men to serve His Church.
Congratulations to Fathers Nicholas Emmerling, Curtis Gross, Kraig Gruss, David Homoelle, Daniel Jasek, Benjamin Klare, Doug Moore, Benjamin Packer, and Jacob Schmeising. May the Lord bless their priesthood and guide them as they begin this sacred ministry.
