Clerics of Saint Viator celebrate the priestly ordination of Tomás Villalobos in Macul

Cardinal Fernando Chomali, the Archbishop of Santiago, presided over the priestly ordination of Brother Tomás Villalobos Herrera, CSV, on Saturday, October 24. The liturgy took place at the Saint Viator College chapel in Macul.

The celebration included members of the Viatorian congregation, educational communities, and delegations from Chile, Peru, and the United States. During his homily, Cardinal Chomali told the new priest that his primary task is to speak of God to people and of people to God through prayer. The Archbishop advised the new priest to remain connected to the lives of the people and warned that a priest who does not pray is in danger.
