CUTLER BAY | On the feast of the Holy Rosary, Oct. 7, 2023, Auxiliary Bishop Enrique Delgado ordained Brother Kevin McGrady to the Trinitarian priesthood.
The ceremony took place at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary-St. Richard Church, where Father McGrady has been assigned as parochial vicar effective Nov. 1. He had been ordained a transitional deacon in January.
Fifteen Trinitarian priests and brothers flew to Miami to be part of this joyful occasion for their community, the Order of the Most Holy Trinity and of the Captives.
Music was provided by Holy Rosary-St. Richard’s choir, under the direction of musical director Yané Sleppy, and with organist Mikhail Marasigan.
“We were down to only one priest and now our pastor, [Trinitarian Father] Daniel Houde will have a parochial vicar to assist him,” said Coraly Maldonado, office manager and parish secretary. “It was a day of much joy for our parish.”
