    Four New Priests Ordained for Miami Two Were Born in Colombia, Another in Mexico, and One in Hialeah

    WWW.THEFLORIDACATHOLIC.ORG | May 2018 FLORIDACatholic MIAMI ARCHDIOCESE Four new priests ordained for Miami Two were born in Colombia, another in Mexico, and one in Hialeah ANA RODRIGUEZ-SOTO of the Florida Catholic staff MIAMI | Two are older. Two are younger. Two come from the same parish, Mother of Our Redeemer, another comes from a par- ish nearby, Immaculate Conception. One is a native, born and raised in Hialeah. The other three are immigrants who started out as manual laborers: loading and unloading clothing, moving mattresses, waiting tables. Miami’s newest priests aptly represent the people they will serve: • Omar Ayubi, 55, a Colombia native of Lebanese extraction who moved to the U.S. 26 years ago to join his family. • Gustavo Barros, 45, also a native of Co- lombia who came to the U.S. 17 years ago seeking success as a photojournalist. • Juan Alberto Gomez, 37, a native of Mex- ico who found salvation through the Neocat- echumenal Way, and his vocation at World Youth Day in Toronto in 2002. • Matthew Gomez, 27, a Hialeah native and local Catholic school graduate who always considered the priesthood an option, then discerned it as a calling. Archbishop Thomas Wenski ordained them May 12 in front of a jam-packed St. Mary Cathedral, during a ceremony brimming with symbols and tradition — and as emo- tion-filled as the new priests’ personal stories. ‘LIFE HAPPENED’ Archbishop Thomas Wenski, center, poses with the newly ordained priests outside St. Mary Cathedral.
