Ad Multon Annos
June 21, 2026
On Saturday morning, June 13th, St. Ignatius Church was the site of the priestly ordination of 5 Jesuits. More than 80 Jesuit priests gathered at the altar as Bishop Rey Bersabal invoked the Holy Spirit over Frs. Edward Chow, Shane Liesegang, Daniel Mascarenhas, and Victor Yanez. The five concelebrated a Mass of Thanksgiving at St. Ignatius on Sunday morning, June 14th.
On Sunday afternoon, June 14th, at St. Philip the Apostle Byzantine Catholic Church in Sacramento, Bishop Artur Bubnevych of the Ruthenian Eparchy of Phoenix ordained Fr. Dennis Marzan for service in the Latin and Byzantine Rites. Fr. Dennis will serve as the new Associate Pastor at St. Ignatius, arriving in mid-July.
The weekend was filled with powerful prayer, music, joy, and hope as six new priests entered into service in the Jesuits West Province of the Society of Jesus. Our parish community was delighted to welcome the ordinands, their family members, friends, and Jesuit companions for this moving weekend of celebration. Ad multos annos, may they serve the church and the world for many years of grace-filled ministry.
Blessings,
