Diaconal ordination of Frater Jacob (Joseph Hsieh 06)

The photo above shows the Most Rev. Kevin William Vann, Bishop of Orange, at the ordination of Frater Jacob (Joseph Hsieh 06, left), O.Praem., to the transitional diaconate. The ordination took place on June 21 at the Mission San Juan Capistrano.

Shortly thereafter Frater Jacob, a seminarian with the Norbertine Fathers at St. Michaels Abbey in Silverado, California, departed for the Eternal City. I am at the Norbertine Generalte, the place where Norbertines from all over the world stay to study in Rome, he writes. Im here to study theology and music for a year, then I will go back and teach chant at the Abbey.

Yet that is not Frater Jacobs biggest news. My ordination to the priesthood will be, God willing, on June 27, 2015 less than a year away! he adds. Pray for me!
