2007 Transitional Deacon Ordination Pictures

Matt Barnard and Jim Theby, two fourth-year theologians at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary, were ordained transitional deacons for the Archdiocese of St. Louis at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis this past Saturday. Every time I witness an ordination, I am most excited when I see the ordinands (those to be ordained) lay prostrate on the marble of the sanctuary floor, offering themselves completely to the Lord's service. I look forward with longing to the day when I can do the same!

I was asked to take pictures at the event, so I've posted them here (on Life is a Prayer.com) in normal web resolution, as well as on Kenrick-Glennon's photo website, in full resolution (in case you'd like to print any out!).
