Ordination of Dom Juan Edgar and Dom Percy in Peru
Belmont Webmaster • June 25, 2019
On 15th June, our Peruvian brothers Juan Edgar Tuesta and Percy Gonzales were ordained priests by the Bishop of Lurin, Mgr. Carlos Garcia. It was a memorable celebration with about 300 people present including 20 priests including Fr Simon and Fr Paul from Belmont. The ordination took place in the monastery church which was beautifully decorated for the occasion.
We wish our new priests many blessings in their ministry at the monastery.
