Deacon Michael McCaffrey FSSP will be ordained to the priesthood in Adelaide, South Australia this Saturday at 10am local time.
He will be ordained for the Priesty Fraternity of St. Peter by His Grace Most Rev. Philip Wilson, Archbishop of Adelaide.
Michael is originally from Adelaide where he studied Medicine. He has spent the last number of months preparing him self in Canberra. It will be the first ordination at the Cathedral in a few years and the first in the Tridentine Rite in many more!
Tradional leaning priests and clergy will be flying in from around the country (and indeed the world) for the "gig".
On a personal note an examination clashed with the ordination but I will be there, having been granted a supplementary after Deacon McCaffrey wrote to the faculty on my behalf!
I will report more on the ordination, and indeed on the rubrics of the bishop in question (which should be interesting) as I will be serving at ceremony as an Acolyte.
Michael's first Mass will be celebrated at Holy Name Church, St. Peter's the following day -- a Solemn High Mass in the presence of a higher prelate to be exact.
