'The Lord has anointed me,
he has sent me to bring
good news to the poor…'

Bishop William K. Weigand ordained Vicente Teneza and Luis Urrego to the priesthood May 28 in a Mass at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Sacramento. In his homily, Auxiliary Bishop Richard J. Garcia urged the new priests to “let God’s people love you into your ministry.” He said, “I know that in the years ahead you will count many blessings as your grow in your ministry among the blessed people you will come to know and love, even in challenges.” He called upon Fathers Teneza and Urrego to be bearers of the good news of God. “Carry the Gospel in your heart, not only in your hand,” he said. “Live it by your example and listen to the hearts of others as they interpret God’s message of love in their lives.” Father Teneza has been assigned as parochial vicar of St. John the Baptist Parish in Folsom and Father Urrego has been assigned as parochial vicar of the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament.
