Diocese of Charlotte Priestly Ordinations Information

All are invited to attend the Priestly Ordination Mass at St. Mark Catholic Church in Huntersville. The Mass will be in the church; guests will be directed to overflow seating in the St. Mark School gymnasium when church reaches capacity.

The parking lot will close when full. There is overflow parking and a shuttle at Grand Oak Elementary School. You will want to arrive early.

Also, after the Ordination Mass, the newly ordained priests will offer their first priestly blessings.

There will be ten new priests ordained this year - a wonderful blessing for our diocese! Those to be ordained are:

Deacon Robert Bauman, from St. Ann in Charlotte
Deacon Michael Camilleri, from St. Elizabeth in Boone
Deacon Daniel Chaves Peña, from Immaculate conception in Hendersonville
Deacon John Cuppett, from St. Leo the Great in Winston-Salem

Deacon Bryan Ilagor, from Our Lady of the Americas in Biscoe
Deacon Michael Lugo, from Immaculate Conception in Forest City

Please keep them all in your prayers, and please pray for more vocations, especially from St. Thomas Aquinas parish!

If we were all where we needed to be already spiritually, one Holy Mass would be sufficient to make us Saints and get us to Heaven. There is no lack in Jesus Christ in Holy Communion; in His one sacrifice for our salvation.

We need Sunday Mass, but we need so much more...

Confession, Eucharistic Adoration, Fellowship, Scripture Study, the Lives of the Saints, Ongoing Study of the Teachings of the Faith, Service to our Neighbor, and Deep Prayer...

Do your best to plug into Holy Mass, and as much else as you are able! We have lots of different things happening here at the parish. We hope to see you at some of it!
