Although the prohibition on large gatherings has necessitated a change in details, six men from the Diocese of Fort Worth will be ordained on March 19. The ordination had previously been scheduled for Vietnamese Martyrs Parish, which can seat 2,000. However, the Diocese of Fort Worth is complying with recommendations from national, state, and local health officials to limit gatherings to minimize the spread of coronavirus. The six seminarians, Jason Allan, Thomas Jones, Samuel Maul, Brett Metzler, Joseph Moreno, and Linh Nguyen, will be ordained at St. Patrick Cathedral at 6 p.m. in front of their closest family members only. The Ordination Mass will be livestreamed at fwdioc.org to provide their friends, extended family, and the faithful of Fort Worth the opportunity to join them in prayer and spiritual Communion.
