Cardinal Dolan will ordain seminarians to the priesthood at St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Saturday, May 27 at 9 a.m.

One of the men being ordained is Deacon Zachary Alspaugh of St. Mary’s Church in Washingtonville, New York. He says that his journey to the priesthood has been like a Paschal Mystery -the life, death, resurrection of a person –and that ordination day will be like new life beginning.
