Mass on January 27, 2018, marked a defining moment in the priestly formation of seminarians at the Pontifical College Josephinum, as His Excellency, Most Reverend Frederick F. Campbell, Bishop of Columbus, admitted them to Candidacy for Holy Orders.
The Rite of Admission to Candidacy is celebrated when a seminarian, usually in his second year of graduate study, has reached a maturity of purpose in his formation and has demonstrated the necessary qualifications for ordination. In the presence of the bishop, he publicly expresses his intention to complete his preparation for Holy Orders and his resolve to fully invest himself to that end, so that he will serve Christ and the Church faithfully.
