Ordination as a Catholic Priest

Ordination as a Catholic Priest

Father Paul of Graymoor was ordained at St. Joseph’s Seminary, Dunwoodie, Yonkers, NY by Archbishop Farley on June 16, 1910. He celebrated his first Mass the following day at Chapel of Our Lady of the Angels. He celebrated a Solemn Public Mass on July 3, 1910, the Feast of the Most Precious Blood. Fr. Solanus Casey, OFM Cap., who is on the path to beatification as well, was deacon. Mother Lurana wrote, “Father Solanus preached a wonderful sermon, I will ever sing the mercies of the Lord. He said beautiful things of this new baby (the S.A.) in the Franciscan Family and said he doubted not it would fill the world and would last until the end of the world. May it be a prophecy. “
