This post concerns Father Thomas McKenzie of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis (USA), who was ordained to the Sacred Priesthood in the Cathedral Church of Saint Paul, Minnesota on 30th May along with seven other candidates.
Father McKenzie commissioned vestments from the Studio in the Saint Giles style. The chasuble (shewn adjacent), was sewn from an ivory and straw-coloured ecclesiastical brocade and was ornamented with an orphrey in green, gold and red : a unique design of the Saint Bede Studio, based on the work of AWN Pugin. The vestments were lined in straw-gold taffeta.
Please pray for Father McKenzie and for all newly-ordained priests.
