Ordination to the Priesthood in the Archdiocese of Armagh
The Archdiocese of Armagh rejoices as Deacon Gabriel Neal, Deacon Jacek Tuszkiewicz and Deacon Paul O’Reilly prepare to be ordained to the priesthood.
Their ordination will take place on Saturday 9 May 2026 at 3.00pm in St Patrick’s Cathedral, Armagh, with Archbishop Eamon Martin presiding.
This is a significant and joyful moment not only for Gabriel, Jacek and Paul, but for the whole Archdiocese. Their response to God’s call is a gift to the Church and to the communities they will serve in the years ahead. All three have undertaken their formation with the Redemptoris Mater Seminary in Dundalk.
In preparation for the ordination, a Prayer Vigil will take place on Thursday 7 May at 7.30pm in Church of the Sacred Heart, Cloghouge. All are welcome to attend this time of prayer as we support the three deacons in the final days of their preparation.
The faithful of the Archdiocese are warmly encouraged to attend both the vigil and the ordination, and to keep Gabriel, Jacek and Paul in their prayers as they take this important step in their lives of service to God and His people.
May the Lord guide and bless all three men as they are ordained to the priesthood.
