Transitional Diaconate Ordinations in Philadelphia

05/22/2025 

On Saturday, May 10th, Philadelphia Area Knights and Dames were invited to attend Transitional Diaconate Ordinations in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Most Rev. Nelson J. Pérez, Archbishop of Philadelphia ordained nine men this glorious morning.

Of the men who were ordained, two were from Sri Lanka, and seven men from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. All of the Auxiliary Bishops were in attendance, as well as our beloved Archbishop Chaput, and many priests and deacons. And by the grace of God, if it be His will, these young men will be ordained priests next year.
