2017 Priesthood Ordination
2017 Priesthood Ordination

The Most Rev. Mark Joseph Seitz, D.D., Bishop of El Paso, ordained Cong Vo to the Priesthood on Friday, May 26, 2017 at 6:30 pm during a special Mass at St. Patrick Cathedral in downtown El Paso. During the Mass, Bishop Seitz also ordained Germán Alzate and Victorino Loresca to the Sacred Order of the Diaconate. This is the final step they take before being ordained priests for the Diocese of El Paso.

The Rite of Ordination and the Ordination Mass comprise one of the most beautiful, solemn, and joyful liturgies celebrated in the Catholic Church. Please continue to pray for Fr. Cong Vo, Deacon Germán Alzate and Deacon Victorino Loresca as they prepare to serve the Church.

When men are ordained for the Diocese of El Paso, they will serve the Diocese of El Paso. These men have made a lifelong commitment to our diocese, we now ask you to make a commitment to their formation. Give a gift to the Seminarian Education Endowment Fund.
