We attended Mass in Slayton this weekend. Father Arens was not there. During the homily, the presider told us Father wasn't available because he was at the ordination Mass for the newest priest in the Winona Diocese. There is only one new priest being ordained this year, but one is definitely better than none, and more than the New Ulm diocese is celebrating this year.
My favorite part of the Mass was the Prayers of the Faithful. The final prayer was one of Thanksgiving for the answered prayer for the newest priest. I think it would be wonderful if we regularly prayed for new people to answer the call to religious life whether as priests or nuns.
