Bishop David A. Zubik, Diocese of Pittsburgh, will ordain three men to the priesthood during a Mass of Ordination on Saturday, June 27, 2020 at 10 a.m. at Saint Paul Cathedral in Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood.
Deacon Jeffrey Craig’s journey to the priesthood has given him a deep desire for sainthood, both for himself and for the people he will minister to as a priest.
Deacon Matthew Hawkins often felt unsure that he could make the sacrifices required by the priesthood, but the Lord repeatedly surprised him by opening his heart and showing him the way forward.
It was fitting that Deacon Michael Faix spent one of the weeks leading up to his priestly ordination conversing with God on a silent retreat. His journey to the priesthood began through dedication to daily prayer.
