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 Viktor Gjergji of St. Lucy’s Parish in the Bronx. We sat down with the Bronx native for an interview at St. Joseph’s Seminary ahead of his ordination to talk about his journey to the priesthood, who has inspired him along the way, and words of advice he has received from His Eminence Cardinal Dolan.
Watch our discussion in the video above and keep our new priests in your prayers.
