Cathedral Gold
Michael Tennies did not
realize how valuable a time he would have
when he signed up for the “Cathedral Crawl” on
February 13th. While making his
way through the clockworks of the cathedral
tower he noticed something shiny between
some boards. What he found was a
U.S. $5 gold coin dated 1886. He
promptly handed it over to leaders at
the Cathedral saying, “It belongs
to the Cathedral. After all, it
has already been here for 124 years!” The
Cathedral Crawl is one of several events
that are offered throughout the year to
junior high boys who are interested in
the priesthood.
Seminarians
take final step prior to priesthood ordination
Prior to Priestly Ordination, Seminarians
are ordained Transitional Deacons. Before
the Diaconate Ordination ceremony, the seminarians
pledge their commitment to service to the
church.
This video highlights the promises of Deacon
Erich Weiss and Deacon Antony Primal Thomas.
Congratulations and Blessings Both!
