Ordinations...

Congratulations to Fr. Ciprian Vacaru who was ordained recently in his native Romania. Fr. Ciprian and I both suffered through Latin and Greek together this year at Sant'Anselmo. His Italian is superb and he is also eager to learn English. I, on the other hand, have superb(?) English and am eager to improve my Italian. So, most days we would walk back to the center of Rome after class, him speaking in broken English and I in my broken (but improving!) Italian, offering one another corrections on the way.

Fr. Ciprian is kneeling to the right. And is also seen second from the bottom right of the group-shot.

Blessings to Fr. Ciprian and his classmates!
