On November 12, 2015 at St. Mary's Seminary & University in Baltimore, our seminarian Wilmar Ramos, along with nine others, took the next step towards Ordination to the Diaconate and Priesthood.
Known as the Rite of Candidacy, which was celebrated at Mass in the seminary chapel, this pivotal event marks the point at which a seminarian formally and publicly declares his desire to become a candidate for the Sacrament of Holy Orders.
We are grateful to God for Wilmar and all the new candidates. Please continue to keep all our seminarians and deacons in your prayers, as they continue on the path to becoming priests.
SAVE THE DATE: Deacon Wilmar Ramos will be ordained to the priesthood on Saturday, June 4, 2016, in Saint Paul’s Cathedral at 10am. He has extended an invitation to all of us here at Our Lady of the Lake to attend his ordination. Please join us in welcoming Wilmar to the priesthood! All are welcome to attend.
