Cardinal Dolan will ordain seminarians to the priesthood at St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Saturday, May 25, at 9 AM. One of the men being ordained is Deacon Will Mendoza of St. Columbanus Parish in Cortland Manor.

We sat down with him for an interview at St. Joseph’s Seminary ahead of his ordination to talk about his journey to the priesthood.

And, he’s one of three seminarians in his family!

Watch our discussion in the video above and keep our new priests in your prayers.
