Have you ever witnessed a man get ordained a priest? You are welcome to attend the Diocese of Rockford’s ordinations this year. The ceremony is not ticketed. The ceremony starts at 11:00 a.m. at the Cathedral of St. Peter in Rockford, IL. With the amount of people attending, it would be best to arrive at least thirty minutes early. Dress is formal/business casual. There will be a reception that immediately follows the ceremony where you can receive a first blessing from the newly ordained priest.

Are you a young man discerning or at least open to the idea? The vocation director, Fr. Jack Reichardt, always reserves a few pews for these young men with a great view. Should you desire to sit here, please fill out the below form expressing interest.
