Many thanks go out to all the men who came to the discernment retreat 2010. Hopefully, you were moved in some way to further consider your call to the priesthood sparked by the guidance of Sister Kathleen Bryant, RSC our retreat director, the encouraging words of Archbishop Niederauer  and also with the words of the many speakers and panelists. Many, many thanks go out to Andrew Spyrow, our seminarian coordinator from the Archdiocese of San Francisco and to all of his brother seminarians who contributed in various ways with hospitality, tours and one-on-one conversations with individual retreatants. Thanks also to Fr. Vincent Bui the Dean of Students of the Seminary for the coordination of the retreat and for his presence throughout the weekend. In this Year for Priests may Jesus, the High Priest, grant us all the grace to be faithful to follow him wherever he leads. (Revelation 14:4; John 12:26)

On Saturday, December 19, 2009 at 10 AM at the Cathedral of the Annunciation Sam West of the Diocese of Stockton was ordained to the priesthood. Congratulations Fr. West! May the Lord abundantly bless you in your new responsibilities as a priest in this "Year for Priests!"
