Five men to be ordained priests Saturday:
Deacon Charles Kaltz Altermatt
I first started thinking of the priesthood when I was about 8 years old, as I used to go with my family to the monastery near our house for the annual summer fundraiser chicken dinner.
Deacon Clint William McDonell
I felt the first inkling of a priestly vocation when I was about 11 and started serving as an altar boy.
Deacon Mark Peter Prill

Deacon Sama Francis Muma
My journey to the priesthood began when I was still young. My older brother started talking about becoming a priest when he was an altar boy.
Deacon Lee Eric Acervo
My route to the priesthood began when I started to become aware of how much God had blessed me throughout my life, which would never have occurred to me without prayer.
