On June 8, 2019, five Jesuits from the Maryland and USA Northeast Provinces ordained to the priesthood by Cardinal Joseph Tobin, Archbishop of Newark. They were among 22 Jesuits in the United States, Canada and Haiti to be ordained this summer. This year’s Ordination Mass for our two East Coast provinces was a picture-perfect day. Hundreds of friends and family gathered at Fordham University Church to celebrate these five men completing their formation journey to the priesthood—(from left to right above) Adam Z. Rosinski, SJ (Maryland Province); Christopher E. Grodecki, SJ (Maryland Province); Ricardo Ávila Natividad, SJ (USA Northeast Province); Richard H. Nichols, SJ (Maryland Province); and Vincent J. Marchionni, SJ (Maryland Province).
