Congratulations Canon Apple
Congratulations to Canon Jason Apple, who was ordained a priest on Thursday, 2 July 2009 (the Feast of the Visitation in the old calendar). As a seminarian, then-Abbe Apple served several times in our parish. Our family, our kids especially, became quite fond of him (Sarah in particular, since Jason's family had horses).
The photo shows the newly ordained Canon Apple giving his priestly blessing to our own Bishop of Oakland, Msgr. Salvatore Cordileone, who attended the priestly ordinations in Florence in choro.
If you'd like to give your French a workout, you can view more images from the ordinations at the Institute of Christ the King website.
