It was my joy to witness the ordination of my friend and fellow blogger Dennis Schenkel to the priesthood on Saturday at the Diocese of Memphis's Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. The photo above by Mike Maple illustrates the story about Father Dennis's ordination in the Commercial Appeal daily newspaper. I expect some more photos in the coming days from Dennis's Uncle Jim. In the meantime, do stop by the new priest's blog and congratulate him, and please pray for all our priests and seminarians, especially the newly ordained.
