April 30, 1989, St. Jude’s, Oakville (a suburb of Toronto on Lake Ontario), just after I was ordained to the priesthood by the Most Reverend John Bothwell, Archbishop of Niagara & Metropolitan of Ontario.
Thirty years ago today I was ordained a priest at St. Jude’s Church, Oakville, Ontario, Canada. My brothers showed up, as did my parents and some of my aunts and uncles and other relatives. The time seems to have flied by. I’ve already said some things about the priesthood on this blog, and you can read them here and here and even here.
I give thanks to all who have supported me in the past thirty years with its ups and downs. May the next thirty years be even more devoted to the glory of God and the uplifting of God’s people.
