The most important and the most humbling title for the bishop is “successor of the apostles.” And certainly one of the most important and most humbling responsibilities for the bishop is to ordain new priests. And so we gather in our Cathedral, Mother Church of the Diocese, bishops, priests, deacons, seminarians, consecrated religious, members of the faithful to pray for these six men and to witness their ordination as priests of the Diocese of Trenton on this glorious day.
