On Tuesday, August 5th, His Eminence Raymond Cardinal Burke, Prefect of the Apostolic Segnatura, ordained four American deacons of the Institute of Christ the King to the priesthood at the Oratory of St Francis de Sales in St Louis, Missouri. Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco, Bishop Robert Finn of Kansas City, and Bishop Joseph Perry, Auxiliary of Chicago, were also present. A report of the event from the St Louis Post-Dispatch, can be read here; a photoset from their website can be seen here. The website of the Institute itself has a nice photoset which you can see here.
Mr Philip Roussin has also post a set of photos to his flickr account; our thanks to him for permission to reproduce them here. We offer our congratulations to the Institute and to the newly ordained priests, Francis Altiere, Benjamin Coggeshall, Joel Estrada and Andrew Todd.
