Three men enter priesthood in Phoenix
By Ambria Hammel | June 6, 2009 | The Catholic Sun
Two weeks before the Year for Priests got underway, Phoenix Catholics had a "Day for Priests," of sorts.
It was a day when several dozen priests throughout the diocese welcomed three more men into their fold. Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted ordained Robert Bolding, Thielo Ramriez and William Schmid to the priesthood June 6 at Ss. Simon and Jude Cathedral.
“Live to the call which you have received with humility, gentleness and patience,” Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted said during his bilingual homily. “These virtues remain the key for priests to practice in their daily ministry in order to do, with a shepherd’s care, the ministry of God.”
The bishop said the young men — as young as in their late 20s — would be consecrated as “true testaments to the Gospel.” Rows of family members and a standing room only crowd packed the cathedral to witness the ordination.
Fr. Don Kline, outgoing director for the diocesan Office of Vocations, called the ordinands worthy of the priesthood and presented them to Bishop Olmsted. The cathedral erupted in sustained applause.
In unison and in response to the bishop, the elect vowed to preach the Gospel and teach the faith; celebrate the mysteries of Christ, especially the Mass; and through endless prayer, ask for God’s mercy on behalf of others.
While standing at the foot of the altar, Bolding, Ramirez and Schmid also vowed to be more united every day to Christ and to consecrate themselves to God for the salvation of all.
“For your part, you will exercise the role of teacher as Jesus did,” the bishop said.

On Friday, March 18, sophomores from all Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Saginaw took part in Vocations Day at the Center for Ministry in Saginaw. Students learned about what it means to be called by God and how to best hear and respond to his call. Those in attendance learned about various vocations, including generous single life, the priesthood, religious life and marriage. There were numerous speakers, including a married couple, an engaged couple, priests, religious sisters and more in attendance. The Most Rev. Joseph R. Cistone, Bishop of Saginaw, participated in the day and celebrated Mass. During his homily, Bishop Cistone encouraged the young people to be open to God’s will in their lives.
