Photos from the Ordination of Rev. Andrew Norton, O.S.B. (’06)
Andrew Lang (’06) was in Oklahoma this past weekend to witness the priestly ordination of his friend and Thomas Aquinas College classmate, Rev. Andrew Norton, O.S.B. (’06). Mr. Lang has graciously provided the photos in the slideshow below, which feature several other alumni before and after the ordination.
Fr. Norton is one of 11 Thomas Aquinas College alumni at Our Lady of the Annunciation of Clear Creek Abbey in Hulbert, Oklahoma, including the Abbey’s subprior, Rev. Mark Bachmann, O.S.B. (’82). The ordination took place on October 26 the Abbey chapel, with the Most Rev. Edward J. Slattery of Tulsa serving as the ordaining bishop. Fr. Norton offered his first Mass the next morning.
“From now on,” writes Fr. Norton in a recent note in his family’s parish bulletin, “a successful day will be one on which I have said Mass ‘better,’ that is, with greater faith, hope and, charity; with my heart and mind more conformed to the Heart and Mind of Jesus; full to overflowing with zeal for God, His Father; and for humanity, for all, especially the weakest, most helpless, most ignorant, the most hardened sinners full of hate.”
Fr. Norton was one of three alumni to receive Holy Orders at Clear Creek on Saturday. Bishop Slattery also ordained Rev. Christian Felkner, O.S.B. (’01), to the priesthood and Br. Jerome Hudson, O.S.B. (’03), to the transitional diaconate. We will post photos from these ordinations as soon as they become available.
Deo Gratias!
