In what seemed to be a windfall for southern India’s Bangalore Archdiocese, fourteen priests were ordained on Wednesday, the 91st birth anniversary of Blessed John Paul II. The ordination ceremony was attended by more than 250 priests and 6,000 people. The new priests were felicitated by Archbishop Bernard Moras, priests, religious and the faithful after the ceremony. The prelate unveiled the portrait of Blessed John Paul II before the priestly ordination. The archbishop, who had participated in the beatification ceremony of Pope John Paul II, shared his experience. “The beatification ceremony was very prayerful. On the previous day for more than three hours there was a prayer vigil,” he added.
