On Saturday, Archbishop Richard G. Henning will ordain five men into the Catholic priesthood during an 11 a.m. Mass at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston, Massachusetts. The new priests, aged between 26 and 75, come from diverse backgrounds, including Puerto Rico, Colombia, and local areas in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Archbishop Henning emphasized the significance of their ministry, stating, "We welcome these five newly ordained priests in service to Christ..." Among the candidates is Father Giris Yousseff Azize, who was inspired to pursue the priesthood after experiencing the grief of losing four children. Father Stephen Louis Baruffi, at 75, entered the seminary following the death of his wife in 2022, having previously served in the U.S. Army and as an attorney. Father Javier Alexis Padilla, the youngest at 26, is a musician and the son of Mexican immigrants, who spent a year in Samoa for missionary work. Father Diego Alejandro Peña Rincon, aged 28, has prior experience in a challenging parish in Colombia. Lastly, Father Jonathan Saniuk, also 28, reignited his calling during a discernment retreat while studying engineering. The ordination ceremony will be broadcast live on the CatholicTV Network.
