End of Ordinations and solemn procession out -- try to see if you can identify any of the priests!

There are too many priests in the procession at the end to even list them.
Fathers Timothy & Joe Pfeiffer, Goldade, Stafki, Lester, Magana, Gardner, Fortin, Riccomini, May, Boyle, and many more!

There are also a few CathInfo members (or one-time members), for the extra observant and those in-the-know.

It's a VERY impressive recessional. I've watched it several times. The organ playing, the grandeur of this large collection of clerics, including a train of 10 Benedictine priests and monks, countless priests, all of which ends with the Bishop himself in full regalia giving his blessing as he departs, and waves of people genuflect and they receive his blessing... the Catholic Church sure knows how to make an impressive display.

One name in the list left the priesthood and now works as a golf club manager. Pray for our priests!

Well, it has to be one of these...some of them are well-known as current priests, so I removed them from the list (above).

I'm pretty sure I could remove Fr. Gardner as well. The others I haven't heard of and I don't know where they are right now.

I'm sure we could do process of elimination -- at least as a group here on CathInfo.
