Bishop Paul D. Sirba, ninth bishop of the Diocese of Duluth, ordained six men -- the Revs. Drew Braun, Seth Gogolin, Ben Hadrich, Brian Lederer, Brandon Moravitz, and Dan Weiske -- to the priesthood at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Rosary on June 22.
This ordination class was the largest in decades and the second largest in history. In 1923 the diocese had a record seven men ordained for the diocese, all in Ireland. This year's ordination was the most men ever ordained priests in a cathedral in the Diocese of Duluth.
