Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap. will ordain six men to the Priesthood for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. All have completed their program of priestly formation and course of studies at Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary in Wynnewood (Montgomery County). The Rite of Ordination will take place during Mass following Archbishop Chaput’s homily.

Those being ordained are: Rev. Mr. Jason E. Buck, Rev. Mr. Sean P. English, Rev. Mr. Robert M. Gross, Rev. Mr. Christopher C. Moriconi, Rev. Mr. Charles J. Ravert, and Rev. Mr. David A. Walters.

Each of the newly ordained priests will be assigned to a parish in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia where they will serve as parochial vicars. A parochial vicar is a priest appointed by the Archbishop to assist the pastor of a parish.
