Ordination July 1 at St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles

On Friday, July 1, at 6 p.m. Bishop Michael Mulvey will ordain seminarian Eric Chapa, a parishioner at St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles, to the transitional diaconate at his home parish. By then Chapa would have completed his seminary studies at The Pontifical North American College in Rome. 

On Jan. 15, 2012, Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio installed Chapa as a lector and on March 5, 2013, Archbishop Joseph Augustine Di Noia installed him as an acolyte; both installations were held in Rome. The transitional diaconate is the final step before ordination into the priesthood. 

Chapa is the son of Gabriel and Priscilla Chapa, longtime parishioners of St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles.
