Video from St Patrick's Cathedral, Melbourne, of the full Mass of Ordinations to the Priesthood and the Diaconate for the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne, on September 7, 2019. This Mass was celebrated by Archbishop of Melbourne Peter A Comensoli. Those ordained to the Priesthood were Frs Andrew Dong Young Choi, Trac Huy Nguyen, Michael Kevin Buck, and Nathan John Edward Francis Rawlins; those ordained to the Diaconate were Deacons Simeon Anthony, James Michael Baptist, and Jude-Thaddeus Ogechukwu Ezeme.
Following the Ordination Mass, a lunch was held for those Priests and Deacons, and those in attendance. This video features these celebrations, firstly outside the Cathedral straight after the Mass, the celebration of blessings from the newly ordained priests in the Cathedral, the diaconate celebrations afterwards (celebrated at the adjacent Cardinal Knox Centre), and the priesthood celebrations afterwards (i the Clunies Room at Corpus Christi College Seminary Carlton), where Fr Rawlins spoke on behalf of the newly ordained.
