THE MOST HOLY TRINITY
FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK….
Brian Kelly will be ordained to the priesthood on June 18
at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. Since he
has spent so much time in the last 3 years at
Christ the King he would like to extend an invitation to
any parishioner to attend this highlight in his life. The
Ordination ceremony takes place at 11:00 a.m. on that
Saturday, the 18th of June. Brian is one of 4 men to be
ordained that day for the Diocese and it is a beautiful,
joyful ceremony that everyone would enjoy!
The following weekend Father Brian will come here to
celebrate Mass at Christ the King.
