MADISON -- On May 23, four men joined the order of the priesthood in the Diocese of Madison.
These four men, Fr. Brian Dulli, Fr. David Greenfield, Fr. Lance Schneider, and Fr. Patrick Wendler, committed their lives to the service of the Church and its people in the Rite of Ordination at St. Maria Goretti Parish in Madison, celebrated by Bishop Robert C. Morlino.
The church was filled with family, friends, soon-to-be fellow priests, and other Catholics in the diocese to witness the ordination in an approximately three-hour rite and Mass.

The first priests ordained in this diocese since 2005 and the largest class since 2000, these four men join the other 133 priests currently active and retired in the Diocese of Madison.
"I pray every blessed day that young men will leave the seminary - in precisely the same way these four have left the seminary, and not in any other way. Thanks be to God," Bishop Morlino said to begin his homily at ordination.
