Father Brad Doyle, Father Reuben Dykes and Father Matthew Graham were ordained by Bishop Muench in a tradition-laden cer- emony with the St. Joseph Cathedral choir providing a stunning musical backdrop. “The church teaches that both in essence and in degree the ministerial priesthood eclipses the shared priesthood of the faith- ful,” Bishop Muench said in his homily. “In addition to the grace it bestows, holy orders confers an indelibly permanent sacramen- tal character or seal by which the ordained share in the priesthood of Jesus himself. This defines a priest’s identity since it depicts the priest as intrinsically connected to and part of Christ himself.” Bishop Muench recalled how many years Bishop Robert W.
