“Three Great Men!”

July 6, 2017

“What a glorious day for the Missionary Society of St. Paul the Apostle! Three men step forward. No. … Not three men but three great men! — Ready to serve our community. … “

Bishop Gerald Kicanas, bishop of the Diocese of Tucson, AZ, spoke these words at the beginning of the Mass with Ordinations to the Priesthood celebrated May 20, 2017, at our mother church, the Church of St. Paul the Apostle in New York City.

Paulist Fr. Matthew Berrios, Paulist Fr. Steven Petroff and Paulist Fr. Stuart Wilson-Smith were ordained priests during this wonderful Mass.
