Institute of Christ the King, Sovereign Priest: Ordinations by Cardinal Stickler
On 28 June Archbishop Bernard Jacqueline, former Nuncio to Morocco, conferred minor orders, Bishop Doran of Rockford, Illinois, ordained nine subdeacons. Father Hudson was ordained by Bishop Giovanette of Fiesole, and Cardinal Stickler ordained four more priests on 1st July.
