Priests of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia are celebrating 25th, 50th, and other significant anniversaries of their ordination to the priesthood this year. See our list of 28 priests.
In addition, five new priests will be ordained Saturday, May 17 in the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, and everyone is invited to participate prayerfully from home through the livestreamed liturgy beginning at 10 a.m. here. You can also read our profiles on each of the men to be ordained and their faith journeys that led them to priesthood.
CatholicPhilly wishes all the priests many more years in their ministry — ad multos annos!
