Having been in seminary for 2 years, Candidacy was something I was both looking forward to and wondering what it would be like. Having seen fellow seminarians admitted into Candidacy I was always amazed and inspired by their courage.
On October 17th, my brother seminarians and I were instituted into the Ministry of Reader. This ministry is received by those who wish to become deacons and eventually priests. This public and formal event communicates to the Church our intention to become priests.
