The bishop of Fargo urged his three new priests Saturday not to be afraid to proclaim the truth of the Gospel or to lay down their lives for the people entrusted to their care.
Bishop Samuel Aquila ordained three men to the priesthood June 5 before 400 people at the Cathedral of St. Mary.
The three men have come from diverse backgrounds and each have lived a unique faith journey to the priesthood.
The youngest of the three, Fr. Robert Pecotte came to the priesthood after a dramatic conversion from an irreligious life, he told the Grand Forks Herald.
