On Saturday, October 22nd, 2022, the current second-year class of seminarians received first clerical tonsure and donned the cassock. Many family members and friends visited for the weekend to see these men take this concrete step in their discernment towards the holy priesthood. It was an exciting and joyous occasion!
“Put off your old nature which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and put on the new nature, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” – Eph. 4:22-24

We were invited to sing Solemn Vespers at the Omaha Cathedral and happily accepted this neat opportunity. A sizeable crowd of locals attended the event. All seemed to appreciate the experience. For our part, we certainly enjoyed singing and praying in such an impressive church; the architecture and music so clearly compliment one another. It was really wonderful! A big thank you to the Diocese of Omaha for their hospitality!

We seminarians enjoyed a fall “Ausflug” (German for “vacation”) to Rapid City, SD. We spent time at our local parish, Immaculate Conception (the parishioners were wonderfully hospitable), and ventured into the Black Hills for some hiking (the views were stunning). It was a full and exciting weekend: The Badlands, Vespers, three Solemn High Masses, a couple hikes, a parish picnic, a few quiet evenings at the diocesan retreat center, and an afternoon of freedom to explore the area.
We are very grateful for all those whose efforts made this trip possible, especially the many generous parishioners of Immaculate Conception and Father Bartholomew, the pastor. I can happily say that everyone has high hopes of returning next year for another visit!

This year, the priestly ordinations for the members of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter studying at Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary will be held on May 27th, the Friday after the Ascension, at 10:00 AM. The ordinations will be at North American Martyrs Church in Lincoln, Nebraska, and the order will be conferred by His Excellency Archbishop Thomas Edward Gullickson.
We are grateful to His Excellency for his gracious assistance on this happy occasion as he ordains seven of our deacons to the sacred priesthood. We also offer our thanks to Father Connor, pastor of North American Martyrs, for allowing us the use of his parish for this event. All are welcome to attend the ceremony but the reception will be reserved for the friends and family of the ordinands only. Please pray for our deacons as we approach this time of Pentecost, that the Holy Ghost will fill them with His Gifts and Fruits, and help them to always be good and holy priests.

The ordination will take place in the Chapel of Saints Peter and Paul at Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in Denton, NE.
