Archbishop Nelson Perez ordained six men as new priests for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia in the cathedral basilica filled to capacity Saturday, May 21. He advised them to “stay close to the Lord in the Eucharist.”
Deacon Andrew Auletta had been attending Mass until an archaeological dig led to a friendship with a priest. Even his misgivings about the sexual abuse scandal didn t sidetrack God’s calling to ordination, set for this May.
