Luigi Posted May 11 Author Share Posted May 11 The Dominican friars of the Western province ordained 3 priests this year. They ordain deacons in September, so there's nothing to report on that front at the moment. On a side note, the ordaining prelate was Bishop Steven Maekawa, OP, himself a member of the Western Province. He was consecrated the bishop of Fairbanks, AK in October 2023. Of the Fairbanks diocese, Wikipedia says: "As of 2023, the Diocese of Fairbanks had 46 parishes and missions, with 14 priests, to serve 11,876 Catholics, in an area of 409,849 square miles (1,061,500 km2). It is geographically the largest diocese in the United States." Suffice it to say, Bishop Maekawa has his hands full, but he made time to return to San Francisco to ordain his brothers as priests.

Luigi Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 CARA report on the ordination class of 2024: https://www.usccb.org/resources/Ordination Class of 2024 - report_0.pdf The Executive Report says 475 ordinands were invited to respond to the CARA survey. That leads me to believe that 475 men will be ordained as priests this year, but I could be wrong about that. I'm not sure that CARA invited each and every ordinand in the country to respond, but I think they did. The report has a lot more information, too, about the ages, locations, and backgrounds of the ordinands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigi Posted May 19 Author Share Posted May 19 From The Monastery of the Blessed Sacrament, Dominican nuns in Farmington Hills, Michigan: "Sr. Mary Elizabeth of the Visitation, O.P. made profession of vows on March 25, the Feast of the Annunciation" Not included in the announcement is fact that Sr. Elizabeth had originally entered at the other Dominican monastery in Michigan, which was in Ortonville, and she was known as Sister Mary Joseph. When that monastery was suppressed, Sr. Mary Joseph went to Farmington Hills and took the name Sr. Elizabeth. So her journey has had some quirks in it, but she perseveres.
