Two new priests were advised to “have a special love for the lost sheep” when ordained in Boston last week.
The ordination of Robert Reed and Mark O’Connell as auxiliary bishops took place at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross on Wednesday.
Noting that the ceremonies took place during the Jubilee Year of Mercy proclaimed by Pope Francis, Cardinal Sean O'Malley said that lost sheep were Jesus' priority.
After the ceremony, the newly ordained bishops received the symbols of their office -- the ring, miter and crozier -- after which the bishops present welcomed Bishops Reed and O'Connell with the sign of peace, the fraternal kiss.
