Of course the article does not mention the St Louis Archdiocese ordained 8 men to the priesthood last year and has been fairly sucessful in recruitment. Of course with Abp. elect Burke, that situation will only get better.

Of course with Abp. elect Burke, that situation will only get better. But, like many dioceses around the country, there will not be enough to avoid closing parishes and instituting the Vatican-approved Rite for Sunday Eucharistic Service in the Absence of a Priest, at least for a time.
I vaguely recall Desdemona saying that St. Louis was not vigorously recruiting permanent deacons. A big mistake.
