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

The Good Newsroom is profiling them each day leading up to their ordinations. Today we hear from Deacon Collins Ashu of St. Lucy’s Parish in the Bronx.

He says that he prays to be a good priest to “the people of this beautiful Archdiocese” and that he wants to share the blessings the Lord has given him with everyone he meets.
