It’s the new priests from Newark: 18 in all.
Story here. They were ordained Saturday. Ad multos annos!
We're mission territory.
You could just as easily call that picture the latest class of JetBlue flight attendants,
Boy howdy, do we need vocations. Like you said, Ad multos annos!
While all would welcome the newly ordained priests, we are naive if we do not see a problem here in the paucity of American born ( and more specifically locally born) priests. Ideally the priests should come from the people not imported from elsewhere.
Where did you gather that? Their surnames? Not a lot of Irish or Germans in Newark diocese. I see no indicator of any one of them IN PARTICULAR being foreign-born.
It has detailed bios of all of the ordinands including their place of birth.
