Archbishop Cupich ordained five new priests at Holy Name Cathedral on May 21. The men, ranging in age from 26 to 35, include two from the Chicago area. The remaining men are from Poland, Mexico and Michigan. After ordination, the new priests will serve in parishes in Chicago, Oak Forest and Orland Park.
Father Miguel Angel Flores Andrade gives a blessing to the mother of his fellow newly ordained priests Father Pawel Barwikowski. Following an ordination it is a tradition for people to line up to receive a "first blessing" from the new priests.
