Ordination Mass“An extraordinary class … in an extraordinary year.” That’s how Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin described the six men he ordained to the priesthood on June 25 at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis during the Church’s Holy Year of Mercy. It was the largest number of men who were ordained priests for the Church in central and southern Indiana since 2002 when eight men were ordained. (Page 1)
