Archbishop Mark Coleridge has ordained two Canberra men for the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter at the first Solemn Pontifical Mass following the traditional extraordinary form of the Roman Rite at St Christopher's Cathedral in years. Fr Marko Rehak and Fr Dominic Popplewell were ordained by Archbishop Mark Coleridge for the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter on the feast of one of the celebrated early martyrs of the Church, St Cecilia, Canberra-Goulburn News and Events reports.
Fr Rehak studied for three years with the Archdiocese of Canberra & Goulburn before joining the Fraternity and completing seminary studies at the English speaking seminary of the Fraternity, Our Lady of Guadalupe, in Nebraska.
Fr Popplewell joined the Fraternity and completed his studies at St Peter's Seminary for French and German speakers in Wigratzbad, Germany.
Both priests had their parents and other family members present at the ordination. They are posted to Fraternity apostolates in Sydney and Parramatta.
Archbishop Coleridge and the sacred ministers, including the deacon and subdeacon of the Mass, deacons at the throne and the assistant priest all were vested in red signifying martyrdom.
"The solemn liturgy unfolded with a splendour and formalised structure unchanged over centuries," chaplain of the St Michael's Latin Mass community Fr Ken Webb said.
"It was filled with a symbolism and with ancient and venerable prayers, which expressed so clearly all of the beliefs which Catholics profess every Sunday as they recite the Creed."
