"Involvement in parish was important. One parish, Our Lady of Lourdes, in Bethesda, Maryland, in the Washington Archdiocese, has three men being ordained this year: Avelino Gonzalez, 41; Andrew Royals, 27; and Greg Shaffer, 34."
They must have a solid priest in that parish. Monsignor Thomas Wells of that parish has a few articles at domestic-church.com

My parish will have two ordinands next year. And yes, our pastor is the best one I've ever seen in any parish of which i have been a member.
