Five Alumni to be Ordained to the Priesthood!

Five Ave Maria University alumni are answering Christ's call to the priesthood this year, and our entire university community is overflowing with joy and gratitude for their faithful witness. As these dedicated men prepare to be ordained and begin their sacred ministry, we invite all alumni, faculty, staff, and friends of AMU to join us in fervent prayer and support during this momentous season.

Please keep these five remarkable men in your daily prayers as they approach their ordination dates. Deacon Joey Haas will be ordained on May 23, followed by Deacons Peter Randolph and Greenan Sullivan on June 6. Deacon Jessiah Rojas will be ordained on June 20, and Deacon Abbe Sebastian Hugoboom will receive this sacred sacrament on July 2. Each of these men represents the very best of Ave Maria's mission to form leaders in faith and service.

We give heartfelt thanks to these five deacons for their resounding "yes" to God's profound call upon their lives. Their commitment to lives poured out in imitation of Christ speaks volumes about the transformative education and spiritual formation they received at AMU. As they step into the priesthood, they carry with them the university's enduring values of seeking truth, serving others, and growing ever closer to our Lord.

Ave Maria University is deeply proud of these men and their courageous journey toward ordination. We encourage the entire alumni community to hold them close in prayer throughout this sacred transition. May God bless each of these future priests abundantly as they embark on a life of sacrificial love and pastoral care in service to His Church.
