Forty brother priests came together June 11 to celebrate a combined 2,028 years of presbyteral service to the Church, gathering in the chapel at Sacred Heart Major Seminary for Mass and a luncheon with Detroit Archbishop Edward J. Weisenburger.
This year’s priest jubilarians, celebrating milestones from 25 years to 60 years, included Detroit’s recently retired shepherd, Archbishop-emeritus Allen H. Vigneron, 76, who is celebrating 50 years since his priestly ordination on July 26, 1975.
Archbishop Vigneron and other priest and bishop jubilarians gathered with Archbishop Weisenburger to give God gratitude for their many decades of sacramental and pastoral service to the people of the Archdiocese of Detroit.
