Cardinal Dolan will be the principal celebrant of the Mass of ordination to the priesthood of Father Luis M. Silva Cervantes and Father Roland P. Pereira, M.Id., at St. Patrick’s Cathedral at 9 a.m. on Friday, June 26.

Father Silva, a native of Guadalajara, Mexico, will be ordained to serve as a priest of the Archdiocese of New York, and Father Pereira, a native of Puttar, India, will be ordained for the Idente Missionaries, who serve at parishes in the archdiocese.

Both men completed their formation for the priesthood at St. Joseph’s Seminary, Dunwoodie, where they were members of the Class of 2020.

Because of coronavirus restrictions, the Mass of ordination at St. Patrick’s is not open to the general public.
