Priestly Ordination of Alexander Griffiths and Christopher Huynh

Published by toospnadmin on

St Dominic…’had a special prayer that he frequently made to God, that He would grant him true charity that would be effective in caring for and obtaining the salvation of men; he thought he would only really become a member of Christ, if he could spend himself entirely, to the limit of his powers, to win souls, just as the Lord Jesus, the saviour of us all, offered Himself up completely for our salvation.’ 

Libellus Precum

On Saturday, November 6, Frs. Alexander Griffiths and Christopher Huynh were ordained to the presbyterate by His Eminence Thomas Cardinal Collins. Their chalices were also blessed by His Eminence before the ordination Mass.

Brs Alexander and Christopher lie prostrate on the ground during the litany.
