¹û¶³´«Ã½

This past Sunday, the Most Rev. Edward J. Slattery, Bishop of Tulsa, ordained into the holy priesthood of Jesus Christ two Thomas Aquinas ¹û¶³´«Ã½ alumni: Rev. Patrick Carter, O.S.B. (’05), and Rev. Peter Miller, O.S.B. (’07). Fr. Carter and Fr. Miller are two of the 11 Thomas Aquinas ¹û¶³´«Ã½ alumni serving at Our Lady of the Annunciation of Clear Creek Abbey in Hulbert, Oklahoma.

Among the alumni and friends of the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ who traveled to Northeastern Oklahoma for the occasion were President Michael F. McLean, Governor Lloyd Noble II, and Dr. John Nieto (’89). A senior tutor, Dr. Nieto gave the new priests a small foretaste of their monastic life when he taught them Gregorian chant in the ¹û¶³´«Ã½â€™s Schola Cantorum.

With these two latest ordinations, the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ can now claim — by God’s grace — 64 alumni priests! Deo gratias!
